Donations can be made during the broadcast through QR codes, text messages, digital platforms, corporate contributions, and matching donation campaigns. “Funds raised through the event will be administered by recognized international humanitarian organizations to address the needs that arise throughout the different phases of recovery,” per an official statement. The concert will also show special reports on rescue efforts, humanitarian work on the ground, and survivor testimonies, to further demonstrate the strength and resilience of the Venezuelan people.
