The 67th Grammy Awards and associated events combined music's biggest night with philanthropy, raising funds for immediate and long-term recovery efforts after devastating wildfires.

  • The Grammys telecast and related events raised over $24 million, with nearly $9 million collected during the awards ceremony on Sunday night.
  • FireAid, a benefit concert featuring major artists like Billie Eilish and Green Day, raised over $100 million through ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations.
  • The funds will support wildfire relief and recovery efforts in Los Angeles, including assistance for displaced residents, first responders, and affected music professionals.
  • The Grammys featured tributes to the resilience of Los Angeles, including performances by artists impacted by the fires and a benefit single release of Randy Newman’s 'I Love L.A.'
  • Despite raising significant funds, the Grammys viewership dipped to 15.4 million, down from last year, but recorded unprecedented social media engagement with over 102 million interactions.
