Give Today to Pave the Path for the Inventive Music of Tomorrow
Our Mission:
ArTM Foundation is the first 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization of its kind comitted to uplifting recording artists and visual artists through innovative financial channels. At ArTM Foundation, our mission is to re-define the intersection of finance and the arts by converting ATM surcharge fees into donations for the local music and art community 24/7 every day, each year by default. These donations directly support local musicians and artists through the redistribution of funds via a grant process. In our inaugural year, ArTM aims to award $20,000 to $25,000 grants solely from donations collected at our fundraising machines.
ArTM is committed to dismantling economic barriers, championing diversity, and prioritizing inclusion. Our unique and data driven non-profit model serves as a self-sustaining fundraising powerhouse for the local music & art community, and the creative sector at large. ArTM enhances the accessibility of production funding, facilitates press relations, and offers the crucial financial backing needed to survive into todays music industry.
With a focus on ArTM s home, Austin, TX, ArTM's mission aims to provide The Live Music Capital of the World’s recording artists and musicians with the financial resources they need to thrive. By elevating Austin artists' voices to the international stage, we not only celebrate the diversity of Austin's rare and unique talent pool, we ensure the preservation of our city's distinctive cultural offerings, keeping Austin a global beacon for creativity and a destination for tourists and new businesses alike.
