We Are Moving The Needle’s LA Wildfire Relief Initiative

In response to the ongoing devastation caused by the Greater Los Angles Wildfires, We Are Moving The Needle has rolled out the following resources to support the creator community. Now more than ever, it is essential that the music community comes together to support the future of our creators.

MicroGrants: Wildfire Relief Fund

We Are Moving The Needle has launched a new MicroGrants Fund for Wildfire Relief to provide targeted support for producers, engineers and creators affected by the Greater Los Angeles Wildfires. Grants will be available on a sliding scale from $100 to $1,000 based on demonstrated need. Support is aimed at those whose livelihoods and careers have been significantly impacted by loss of a studio, equipment, or other critical infrastructure related to your career in audio.

We Are Moving The Needle’s Studio Access Program

In addition to our MicroGrants Fund, We Are Moving The Needle is rallying the community to provide critical resources like studio time to help those who have lost access to their recording spaces. Together, we will work to close the gaps for creators in need. 

Do you have studio time or equipment to donate? We Are Moving The Needle is looking for partners to share studio time, equipment and additional resources for those affected by the Greater Los Angeles Wildfires. Reach out to info@wearemovingtheneedle.org for more details.
