UNITED BY MUSIC. DRIVEN BY PURPOSE. ACTIVATED BY MEMBERS.
THE DAY THAT MUSIC CARES COMES TO LIFE ON JUNE 5, 2026
The Recording Academy is inviting members, staff, and every corner of the music community to step out of the studio, off the stage, and into their neighborhoods to give back.
Whether you join an Academy-organized opportunity near you or tune into a virtual volunteer activity, your participation is what defines this day. This is how our community shows up. This is The Day That Music Cares.
THREE WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
JOIN US
The best way to experience The Day That Music Cares is by joining an Academy volunteer event near you. You’ll be shoulder to shoulder with fellow members and staff, working on something that matters together. For a complete list of service activations hosted by Chapter staff, Academy team members, and elected leaders, visit the Opportunities page to see what is happening in your area.
STAY LOCAL
Members everywhere are encouraged to look in their own neighborhoods and find a place to volunteer and make an impact. Download the social toolkit, tell us about your cause, and share your story on June 5.

Volunteering virtually is a way to come together around a shared cause. Explore virtual and remote opportunities on Idealist, JustServe, or Points of Light. Check out organizations like Love For Our Elders and Lasagna Love, and give back from the comfort of your own home.

TESTIMONIALS
One community. One day. The kind of impact that people remember.
Last year, over 2,600 members participated, from more than 50 cities, and serviced 13 diverse cause areas. This year, we want to go further. And that only happens if more of us show up.
