Want to support our programming with a tax-deductible donation of any size? Donate here.

Contributions at the shows help us pay the bands, but on average make up just 80% of what we need for that purpose.

Your direct donations augment the day-of-show contributions. Your donations help us:

• pay the artists the remaining 20% or their guarantees
• pay the licensing agencies close to $4k a year
• keep the stage lights on and the sound system humming
• keep the publicity machine cranked up
• pay staff
• pay rent
etc., etc.

Ain’t none of it free! All of it takes money!
And the money mostly comes from individuals in the neighborhood, as it rightly should!
After all, it’s the neighborhood and its residents who benefit the most (after the musicians, of course!).

Do make a place for us in your budget. If nothing else, it’s good for the cachet of the neighborhood and property values!

We apply for grants, and get a few. That helps. If you have insights into any particular grant opportunities, let us know.

But at the end of the day it’s you and your neighbors who really foot the bill.

It’s well worth it! You’re helping to provide a venue and a paycheck to some very worthy artists — be they musicians, poets, raconteurs… keeping them local & solvent in an impossibly expensive city.

In return, you’re provided with countless opportunities to enjoy the rich fruit of their talents, dedication and hard work.

Thanks!
