Our Mission

We help artists and musicians by providing grant support for the recording process.


Recordings are the gateway to today's music industry and play a critical role in the economy of independent music. Our grants support the creative process while providing opportunities for producers, engineers, studios, and more.


In short, our grants

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 and wield the creative freedom to record music outside of the need to chase trends and own their music.

Our Values

We believe that music can be much more than trends and profit.

Music, Not Product

We believe music is an essential part of our humanity, not just another thing to buy and sell.

Gateways, Not Gatekeepers

Opportunity creates possibility. We think some great music can be made when we open doors and create bridges.

Non Merit-Based Giving

Streams, followers, and accolades don't count as much as drive and dedication.
