Make Moves | Warner Music Group to Donate $100M USD To #BlackLivesMatter Organizations

The good folks over at Warner Music Group is the latest company to give back to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Today the word comes down that the company will donate $100m USD to social justice organizations who supper #BlackLivesMatter. The donation comes from Warner Music Group and the Family Foundation of its primary owner, Len Blavatnik. The group is working with an advisory panel made up of key members of its team.

The group will make donations to organizations that support the education and promotion of equality, opportunity, diversity, and inclusion. Warner Music Group’s contribution also aims to assist organizations related to the music industry, as well as campaigns against violence and racism.

Current CEO of Warner Music Group, Steve Cooper, stated: “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.” He continued to say, “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.” Mr. Cooper then finished off his statement, saying, “We’re determined to contribute, on a sustained long-term basis, to the effort to bring about real change.”

The donations follow the death of George Floyd, as well as The Weeknd’s urging of big music companies to donate. The artist stated: ” To my fellow respected industry partners and execs — no one profits off of black music more than the labels and streaming services. I gave yesterday, and I urge you to go big and public with yours this week.”

Find out more from Warner Music Group and stay tuned for much more on this coming very soon. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more lifestyle and culture news coming soon.
