One Republic has made one enormous gesture.
The band donated $100k to help cover medical costs for the victim of a shooting ... TMZ has learned.
The woman -- who has not been identified -- was shot in Nashville, TN last week and is in critical condition. She's the wife of a team member of One Republic.
One Republic is leading the charge in raising funds for her medical costs. The band is asking people to donate to a GoFundMe ... roughly $170k has been raised in just 5 days.
The wife of one of our family within the 1R team just got shot through the back while walking her dogs. Please help us help this family recover & bring attention to the EPIDEMIC of gun violence in this country. Thank you - 1R. https://t.co/4EflKp2xTw pic.twitter.com/tzaSpAoclR

Dierks Bentley also chipped in $2,000.
The victim has undergone multiple surgeries and lost her spleen ... but her condition is not life-threatening.
The suspects remain at large. Nashville police tells TMZ there's been a rash of shootings in the city and cops are investigating to see if they are connected.
