Where the money goes

We run on donations, grants and what the recordings earn.

Every artist gets the same published share of what their recording earns: [50%] after platform fees and manufacturing, to keep or give back.

Staff get a fixed wage set by the board, never a percentage of music or donations. Every year we publish what came in, what went out and who was paid.
