Sponsors & Underwriters
You’re a socially conscious national or regional business leader with an interest in communicating your values, connecting with like-minded affiliates and customers and supporting musicians as they further social justice and build resilient communities.
Our projects and special events are diverse and varied in scope, theme, geography, and reach and offer a music & issue-driven platform from which to amplify your brand and reach. Opportunities for sponsorship include:
-
- Underwriting: We produce shows throughout the year and can offer you a platform that speaks to the issues your company cares about. Our annual Pass the Mic event, for example, showcases the power of music to make change, offering an intergenerational exchange of music and stories, hosted by Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary) and his daughter Liz Sunde. Witness the evolution of music’s power across time – from the 60’s to today – and its capacity to build a better world. Pass the Mic features Juried Artists, alongside legacy artists like Judy Collins, Michael Franti, Chuck D and more.
- Musician Changemaker Accelerator (MCA) Academy: We produce 2 intensive online training programs a year for musicians seeking to be effective, entrepreneurial change agents in their communities. Each training serves 10 artists across genres, geographies and generations, empowering them to launch music-driven solutions to pressing issues in their communities.
- Musician Changemaker Accelerator Workshops: We also produce an abbreviated version of the Academy through Workshops that are held in-person (as conditions allow), community-specific, and customizable to the needs and interests of the community/collaborators. Coordinated with local organizers (community partners), the Workshop offers a more adaptable/portable, less expensive introduction for social change musician entrepreneurs. The Workshop helps artists understand the skills and partnerships needed to develop sustainable, community-oriented programs.
