Why You Should Donate to The 100 Percenters
At The 100 Percenters, we are steadfast in our mission to support songwriters, producers, and artists through bold advocacy, grants, and impactful initiatives that foster community and amplify the voices of everyday career creatives.
We are not just an organization but a movement for the people. We are boots on the ground, working directly with our members and the broader creative community to address real issues in real-time. From helping creators escape outdated contracts to amplifying stories of sexual abuse and misconduct in the music industry, we tackle the conversations most shy away from and take meaningful action to create change.
We prioritize grassroots efforts over gloss. When you support The 100 Percenters, you're directly impacting the music creatives that are the pulse of the industry.
Your support is more than a donation—it's a lifeline for the music creators who shape the soundtracks of our lives. Join us in standing up for songwriters, producers, and artists who deserve fairness, safety, and opportunity.
