Support MusicOregon’s Portland Music Month to empower local artists!

MusicOregon's second annual Portland Music Month is happening in January 2023. Funds raised for PDXMM support our Independent Musician Empowerment Grant--the only grant fund specifically created to support our popular music creators in Portland. Our independent music scene is respected as a hotbed of inventive, emerging talent and “the next big thing.” In Portland, our artists value creativity over commerce and innovation over imitation.

But rising living costs and the presumption that music should be free threatens artists individually and our treasured music scene as a whole. This will be the first grant program designed to support the creative projects of professional artists in the ways they need it; make a record, fund a tour, hire a publicist, buy new gear, take time to write, etc. etc. Without creative support, our music ecology will not continue to be awesome and distinct.

Every donation can be earmarked for a General Fund or a BIPOC-Specific Fund. MusicOregon is committed to counteracting our region's historical under-investment in artists of color.

Please consider a donation of any size to support the creative spirit of Portland music.
