Our Mission

Recording Fund is a 501c3 nonprofit, alternative funding model for the independent music community. We help independent artists and musicians record their music, and in doing so, we create jobs for audio and recording professionals.The commodification of music has distorted what it means to be involved in music these days. Artists and musicians are more prolific than ever, but many talented artists struggle to fund their recordings. The narrow commercial scope of traditional funding models, such as record labels, denies opportunity to the majority of working artists. In this polarized landscape, we aim to support the independent music community by creating a non-merit-based funding model outside of the commercial lens.

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.
