NAMM has pledged $50,000 to establish the LA Wildfires Relief Fund, supporting NAMM members, their employees, music programs, and musicians affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. The organization welcomes additional donations as they prepare for the 2025 NAMM Show in Anaheim.

The NAMM Foundation is currently assessing needs and will provide details about fund distribution and application processes in the coming days.
