Things You Will Need / Tips
A. First and foremost bring your good energy and get excited! You are about to create something using your passion and talent that will have a direct positive impact on what matters to you.
Next : A plan. It doesn’t have to be complicated but it needs to be clear and thought out. lets start with some basics :
- Who is creating this project ? You, your band , your friends , your group ?
- What ? Decide what you will be doing. You can sing , dance, play a guitar solo , one verse , just the hook , the chorus, or an entire song .
- Where ? Decide where . On stage , your living room etc
- When ? You know what they say .. timing is everything! so think about when the best time would be to launch your project and what the duration of your project will be. *TIP the majority of your support will happen in the first few days and last day or two of your project. We suggest having your project up for the length of time you will realistically spend the time to promote . 1 – 2 weeks is a good point of reference for the best outcome.
- Why ? What is the purpose of creating your project ? What is your overall goal ?
B: Content.
You can sing , dance, play your instrument, do a solo ,full song or play your favorite part, play with a full band, trio , you can juggle,do an acrobatic flip , roller skate, skateboard trick , snowboard or surf , as long as you include music in your project .
- Performance length we strongly suggest a clip under 60 seconds unless of course you are you’re performing a full song.
- Please create new content Specific to your project
- Please Include an introduction in your clip Example: Hi I’m Sting and my band and I are playing in support of the Rainforest Foundation Fund.
- Please do not link to a performance that you do not have the right to use.

Music Project Title
The title of your project should say who you are what and why you are performing.
*Ideally, your project title and introduction in your performance should the same or very close to the same.
Here are some examples:
- My name is Michele and I’m singing in support of Common Ground Grief Center.
- We are the Jersey Blues Band and we are playing an original tune to raise money to record our next album.
- I’m Mia I’m playing a drum solo to raise money for drum lessons.
- Hello I’m Sting and I am singing in support of the Rainforet Foundation Fund.

Fundraising Goal
Set a realistic goal that’s aligned with your compelling project description. The more information you provide about how the money you are raising will impact your project, the greater your chances will be to hit your goal.
Fundraising Split
The fundraising split is how much money you are keeping vs how much your are donating to the beneficiary of your project . For example, If you are keeping 50% of proceeds and your project benefactor will receive 50%. place 50% in each box above or if 100% of proceeds will be donated to your project benefactor you will put 100% in the benefactor box. You can split the donations any way you choose or not at all.
