The ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund was created to assist individuals working in the Country Music industry who are suffering a financial crisis as a result of the pandemic. Since the announcement, $1 million was raised thanks to ACM Lifting Lives sponsors FirstNet, Built with AT&T and Amazon Music, and donors, including The Bobby Bones Show, City National Bank, and other individuals. The ACM Lifting Lives COVID-19 Response Fund began with an initial endowment of $250,000, matched $250,000 in outside support, and is now contributing another $250,000 due to the need of applicants. To date, more than $500,000 has been distributed to Country Music industry professionals who demonstrate immediate financial needs due to COVID-19 and meet the outlined criteria.

Because of them, ACM Lifting Lives matched donations to aid those in the County Music community during these extraordinary times. We are hopeful to continue supporting future applicants with this fund and thank you to all for the support.”
