Their donations help bring the fund's total to more than $4 million. Amazon Music, Facebook, SiriusXM and Pandora, Spotify, Tidal and YouTube Music have all donated to MusiCares' relief fund for music workers whose livelihoods have been impacted by the coronavirus crisis.
MusiCares, the charitable arm of the Recording Academy, launched the COVID-19 Relief Fund last week. It kicked off with an initial $1 million donation each from MusiCares and the Recording Academy, totaling $2 million.
Thanks to the donations announced today (March 24) from major streaming and tech companies, plus fundraising efforts from musicians like Alicia Keys and Better Than Ezra's Kevin Griffin, that total has more than doubled, according to a representative.
