The Music Fund of Los Angeles is a 501(c)3, charitable organization providing financial help to professional musicians, music students, and youth music programs in the Los Angeles area. The Fund was founded in 2007 by Hal Espinosa, then-President of the American Federation of Musicians Local 47, who saw a need for a charitable organization that could help musicians in financial distress.
The primary mission of the Music Fund of Los Angeles is to provide financial assistance to musicians who are unable to work due to sudden illness, poverty or other distress, provide scholarships to students of music, and to sponsor youth music programs and live music events throughout Los Angeles. Our hope and mission is to help professional musicians who are struggling to maintain their dignity, support the future of music by providing scholarships, and sponsor youth music programs and live music events in Los Angeles.
