The Academy of Country Music's philanthropic arm, ACM Lifting Lives, will be allocating $250k to three different organizations in a gesture supporting those affected by the Las Vegas shooting.
The organization receiving the most funds will be the MGM Resorts Foundation's Victim Relief & First Responders’ Fund, which was created to provide humanitarian aid to victims and those affected as well as organizations serving first responders. They'll be receiving $200k.
The National Compassion Fund will receive $25k—all of which will be distributed directly to victims. The final $25k is to be given to Friends of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Foundation to help provide counseling and support to victims, their families and first responders.
“This money will go a long way in aiding the healing and recovery of people who so desperately need it,” said ACM CEO Pete Fisher. “Our sizable contribution to the MGM Resorts Foundation not only will aid victims, but will send a very special sentiment to our long-time partners in Vegas.”
