Bandcamp Donates 100% of Profits to Help Artists Affected by California Wildfires

The music community, like many others, has been deeply affected by the devastating wildfires in Southern California. Thousands of people, including many artists, have lost their homes and livelihoods. Believing in the power of music to bring change, Bandcamp has announced that on February 7th, all profits from their platform will be donated to MusiCares , a nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial aid, mental health support, and essential healthcare services to artists in need. This humanitarian effort is supported by A2IM, Harman, Lagunitas, Roland, Shure, Victrola, and WIN —all key players in the independent music industry who want to help artists recover and keep creating. In difficult times, every contribution matters. Music is more than just art—it can be a tool to help those in need.

Bandcamp Fridays will be running until May 2021

On the first Friday of every month since March, Bandcamp waived their revenue share to help artists who have been impacted by the pandemic.  They announced that this scheme would be extended until May 2021.  They also revealed that so far the initiative has put over $40 million in the hands of independent artists and labels. The ensuing popularity of the initiative resulted in the platform expanding Bandcamp Fridays throughout the entirety of 2020, allowing for fans to direct assist their favourite artists across the year by cutting out the middle man and making sure they receive all the profits. Bandcamp have also reminded users that their platform is still one of the most beneficial ways to support an artist with digital sales, stating that an average of 82% reaches the artist/label with each purchase. Compared to the pay rates of everyone else out there, we reckon that’s a pretty fair flex to make. [ source ]
