Our Mission

Recording Fund is a 501c3 nonprofit, alternative funding model for the independent music community.


Our mission is to support independent artists and musicians by providing grants for the recording process. Recordings are the gateway to today's music industry and play a critical role in the economy of independent music. By supporting artists and musicians in creating music,  we not only enable them as creatives but also as small business owners. Additionally, our grants contribute to job creation by directly funding service providers such as producers, engineers, and studios. 


In short, our mission is to Record Music and Create Jobs.

Problem

Artists and musicians are more prolific than ever, but most struggle in today's music industry. Traditional funding models, such as record labels, deny a majority of talented, and driven artists.

Solution

Implement a grants program that values music over commercialism, does economic good, and creates a coalition of support to bridge the gap between corporate music and federal funding for the arts.

Outcome

Artists and musicians gain access to the opportunities of today's booming music industry, wield the creative freedom to record music outside of the need to chase trends, and they own their music.

How We Work

Applications, Not Auditions

We don't chase trends. Our grants-based program is focused on finding and supporting dedicated, driven, and diverse applicants - not breaking artists. We believe that music stands before product, and we aim to be a gateway, not a gatekeeper.


Record Music. Create Jobs.

Being a musician today can be costly and usually comes with very little return. Our grants help artists and musicians pay for the cost of recording, which in return creates jobs for producers, engineers, studios and more.
