In February of 2017, we announced the formation of All Within My Hands. The Foundation aims to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band for years, as well as encourage participation from fans and friends. All funds raised will be donated to a cross-section of national and local charities... every penny from your donations will go directly to our charity partners.
All Within My Hands is a non profit foundation founded by none other than the legendary Bay Area Metal legends Metallica. Since the formation of the foundation in 2017, millions have been raised for great causes such as helping to feed the hungry worldwide, and disaster relief. Renee Richardson took the time to talk with Metal Express Radio about All Within My Hands annual Month Of Giving, how the foundation has bought Metallica fans together, and more.

The Metallica month of giving is underway with the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation. So what’s up for 2023?

As with all AWMH fundraisers, 100% of proceeds from ticket sales, the auctions, and event merch went directly to the Foundation.
