Make an impact today

🎵 Join us in protecting Austin’s creative future.

Every bit of support goes a long way in helping us help musicians. We’ve got some very impactful new initiatives in motion for 2026, including:

  • Expanded Paid Performance Opportunities for Musicians

  • Expanded Education Programming, in Partnership with Local Higher Education

  • A Downtown Creative Hub, Parking and Safe Escort for Musicians

To continue doing this work, we need your help. Cultivating new partnerships, investment, and donor relations both public and private will be key to our sustainability.

We're putting out a call to all interested corporate partners, angel investors, and music community members and imploring that we all come together to lift up what has proven to be a crucial service to the health of our music community, which truly serves as the cornerstone to Austin’s economic well-being. We hope you’ll help us continue our work by donating, or by contacting us directly to discuss options.
