Metallica’s nonprofit organisation, All Within My Hands, has committed $125,000 to help communities in Hawaii rebuild after severe flooding caused widespread destruction.
The charity confirmed the money will be distributed to three local groups providing direct relief efforts: The Hawaiian Council, the Lahui Foundation and Hui O He'e Nalu.
Describing how serious the situation has become, the band shared: "Hawaii is facing the worst flooding it's seen in more than two decades, leaving the islands suffering an estimated US$1B in damage statewide. The subtropical weather systems called kona lows near Hawaii siphoned moisture from the tropics, fueling slow moving thunderstorms with torrential, destructive rains. The soil became saturated, and the rivers surged to record levels as the rains continued. So far, hundreds of homes in O'ahu have sustained damage, in addition to millions of dollars in damage to farms across the island. As many as 115,000 O'ahu residents faced power outages in the storm's aftermath. While the heaviest rains have passed, flash floods remain possible in the coming days."
The organisation also shared that its leadership team immediately looked for ways they could assist and found out that actor Jason Momoa, who has a long standing relationship with the foundation, was already working with community partners in the area.
The Enter Sandman band added: "With strong ties to Hawaii, members of the AWMH Board reached out to identify ways to support the community, and we learned that a friend of the Foundation, Jason Momoa, was already there working with local organizations. AWMH is proud to join Jason and the many organizations and individuals working to provide critical relief and recovery assistance to the islands."
The group detailed how the funds are being allocated, explaining: "AWMH is granting US$50K to the Hawaiian Council (Formerly Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement), US$50K to the Lahui Foundation, and US$25K to Hui O He'e Nalu."
Metallica also invited supporters to help if they can, stating: "If you'd like to contribute, the buttons [www.metallica.com/news/2026-03-30-awmh-donates-125k-to-flood-relief-in-hawaii.html] will direct you to the flood relief funds accepting donations. The Hawaiian Council is matching every dollar up to $325K donated to its Kako'o O'ahu: Emergency Relief for O'ahu Flooding."
Hawaii is still dealing with the damage left behind by the powerful storms, which have resulted in around $1 billion in losses across the islands.
Metallica’s charitable arm, All Within My Hands, has pledged a whopping $125,000 to support Hawaiian communities recovering from devastating floods.
Many homes across O‘ahu were impacted, agricultural businesses reported significant financial damage, and over 115,000 people lost electricity following the severe weather.
Even though the worst of the rain has stopped, authorities say the risk remains because the ground is still soaked and rivers are running high, which could lead to further flash flooding.
