Bama Works Fund

The Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band was established in 1999 to support charitable programs primarily in the Charlottesville, VA area.

Established by Dave Matthews Band in 1999, the Bama Works Fund supports a wide range of efforts to build a more equitable, resilient, and environmentally sound world. While the fund primarily focuses on effecting positive change in the band’s homebase of Charlottesville, Virginia, it has also engaged in a great number of national and international causes over the years, including everything from natural disaster relief to voting-rights projects to intersectional movements such as the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. To date, Bama Works has raised more than $65 million and awarded over 2,500 grants, ultimately serving as an invaluable source of sustenance for an incredible diversity of charitable programs and initiatives.
