Music Sustainability Fund
Many of Nashville's musicians are also rideshare drivers, delivery workers, servers, bartenders, hotel staff, freelancers, and hourly workers doing whatever it takes to stay in the game. The Music Sustainability Fund helps them access the studios, community, and career infrastructure they need to keep creating.
Your gift doesn't just support music. It helps music get recorded.
The problem
But as Nashville grows, the working musicians who give it that name are being priced out.
The solution
Through this fundraising initiative, eligible artists access professional studios, mentorship, and creative space at roughly 25% of market rates, so the city's growth doesn't cost it the culture that made it worth growing.
Why this works
Studio time at HOME is already priced at roughly one-quarter the going rate in Nashville. Every dollar contributed to the fund plugs into a $2M+ ecosystem of studios, gear, staff, and programming that already serves working creators.
Who qualifies
Artists, songwriters, and producers with a proven track record and a real career that the gig economy keeps interrupting.
40+ hours / month
at a certified gig position qualifies a creator for 75% off a HOME membership.
What it funds
Supports 20 working creators for a full year of subsidized membership and resources.
Supports 100 working creators for a full year. The model proves out at city scale.
Lead gifts of $10,000 and above are named at our annual fundraiser.
