Hard Rock Heals Foundation awards $250,000 in global community grants

Fifty nonprofit organizations across 15 countries have each received $5,000 grants to support local programs in areas where Hard Rock operates.

The Hard Rock Heals Foundation has allocated $250,000 in grants to 50 local nonprofit organizations around the world. 

Each organization received a $5,000 grant as part of the foundation’s annual initiative to support community-based programs in the regions where Hard Rock operates.

This funding is intended to assist grassroots organizations in carrying out projects aligned with the foundation’s mission to contribute to local development through focused community engagement.

The Foundation supports initiatives in three key areas: mental health awareness and research, prevention of human trafficking and promotion of human rights, and children’s wellness and education.

Tracy Bradford, President of the Hard Rock Heals Foundation and Seminole Hard Rock Support Services said: “Since 2016, the Hard Rock Heals Foundation has supported hundreds of local programs focused on healing and hope. 

“This year’s grant recipients, whether serving children, combating homelessness, or standing up for human rights, embody the spirit of our mottos: ‘Love All – Serve All’ and ‘Take Time to Be Kind.'”

This year’s grant recipients include locally based organizations from over 40 cities across 15 countries.

The initiatives supported address a broad range of local needs, including autism awareness in the Maldives, educational support for children in Mexico, youth wellness programs in Austria, and services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Florida.

As part of the program, each Hard Rock property nominates one nonprofit organization annually. Selected recipients for 2025 include The Bowery Mission in New York, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia, Maldives Autism Association, Julie Weintraub’s Hands Across the Bay in Tampa, Cruz Roja Española in Marbella, and Career Wardrobe in Philadelphia, among others.

Odds tell a story long before the result does. When bettors learn to read that story properly, betting becomes a matter of discipline and value rather than emotion or guesswork.
