The donation comes from both Warner Music Group and the Family Foundation of its primary owner, Len Blavatnik. The group is working alongside an advisory panel made up of key members of its team, coming together to make donations to organizations that support educating and promoting equality, opportunity, diversity and inclusion for all. Warner Music Group’s donation will also support organizations related to the music industry and campaigns against violence and racism.
Steve Cooper, the current CEO of Warner Music Group, said in a statement, “This fund will support the extraordinary, dedicated organizations that are on the front lines of the fight against racism and injustice, and that help those in need across the music industry.
“Our advisory panel, which will draw from a diverse cross-section of people from our team and the wider community, will help us be very thoughtful and accountable in how we make an impact,” he continues. “We’re determined to contribute, on a sustained long-term basis, to the effort to bring about real change.”
