Hard Rock Heals Foundation Distributes $250,000 in Grants to Support Community Initiatives
The Hard Rock Heals Foundation, a charitable arm of Hard Rock International, has announced the distribution of $250,000 in grants to 50 non-profit organisations globally. Each grant, amounting to $5,000, is part of the foundation's annual commitment to support community initiatives.
The grants are aimed at strengthening communities where Hard Rock operates. Tracy Bradford, President of the Hard Rock Heals Foundation and Seminole Hard Rock Support Services, made a statement about the grants, emphasising the recipients' alignment with the foundation's mottos.
This year's grant recipients serve various causes, including children, combating homelessness, and standing up for human rights. Each Hard Rock property nominates one charity annually for the Hard Rock Heals Foundation grant program.
The focus areas of the Hard Rock Heals Foundation grant program include mental health awareness and research, prevention of human trafficking and promotion of human rights, children’s wellness, support, and education. Additionally, the foundation supports initiatives addressing homelessness solutions as part of children’s wellness and community support efforts.
Examples of this year's grant recipients include CAREER Wardrobe, which empowers women through professional development, and the Maldives Autism Association, which provides resources for children and families with autism. Cruz Roja Española, nominated by Hard Rock Hotel Marbella, offers essential care and education to underserved children.
Other recipients include The Bowery Mission, which serves New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia, which grants wishes to critically ill children. Julie Weintraub's Hands Across the Bay, nominated by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, supports survivors of human trafficking.
The 2025 grant recipients span 15 countries and more than 40 cities, reflecting the brand's global reach and deep community connections. The full list of 2025 grant recipients can be found at Hard Rock Heals Foundation website.
Since 2016, the Hard Rock Heals Foundation has supported hundreds of local programs focused on healing and hope. The foundation's commitment to grassroots initiatives and its focus on mental health awareness, human trafficking prevention, children’s wellness, and education continues to make a significant impact in communities worldwide.
The Hard Rock Heals Foundation's annual grant program also extends to initiatives that promote outdoor-living and home-and-garden, such as supporting community gardens or nature parks, ensuring a healthier lifestyle for all.
In alignment with the foundation's commitment to community support, shopping for deals-and-discounts on home-improvement products could potentially be a part of this program, extending its reach to more areas that matter to the community.
