IRS990/Desc0Rock the Cause Records had two charitable music releases in late 2015. The releases helped to raise awareness and support for Huntington's Hope and and ending domestic violence causes. One of the releases was a music compilation paying tribute 60's icon Donovan entitled Gazing With Tranquility A Tribute to the Music of Donovan. The record featured some of today's top indie acts like Flaming Lips, Sharon Van Etten and Lissie who donated their music to the compilation. The Donovan compilation received national attention from NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork etc. The nonprofits we work with have told us that they also get direct donations because a consumer learned about their cause through a Rock the Cause music release first. This has been a very successful program over the past 5 years reaching millions of people around the world through on demand streams. 2015 was a building year for us. Additional grants to charities will be awarded in 2016 and beyond as we collect and determine the net revenue for each new music release. In 2015 we also began curating and developing future releases that will impact charitable causes around the world, while also creating program revenue for Rock the Cause.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Rock the Cause participated in and organized multiple concert events/volunteer drives during 2015. We partnered with venues and touring artists to have a presence at concert events that helped to raise awareness and new support for charitable causes. The concerts helped to engage thousands of people with awareness of various charitable cause. Many became new volunteers and donors for organizations like Women's Advocates, Ronald McDonald House, People Serving People, High School for Recording Arts, Rock the Cause, Habitat for Humanity, Minnesota Music Coalition and more. Volunteers for these organizations were registered onsite at each event. At one concert we collected over 100 professional garments for Women's Advocates.
