When life hits hard, Gulf Coast musicians and artists shouldn't have to face it alone.

The creative people who fill our stages, festivals, and venues — the ones who give us the soundtrack to life on the Coast — often work without a safety net. A broken-down car, an instrument that needs repair, an unexpected medical bill — any one of these can pull an artist away from the work they love, or worse.

That's why we created And We Give, Inc. and the Raise a Glass Relief Fund: to step in with emergency relief when a Gulf Coast musician or artist hits a rough patch.

We're just getting started, and this is our founding campaign. Your gift today does two things:

It gets us off the ground. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in formation, we have real startup costs — filing fees, registration, and the basics it takes to operate transparently and responsibly.

It seeds our first relief grants. Every dollar beyond startup goes straight into the fund, ready to help our first applicants with the things that get them back on their feet — an instrument repair, a car repair, medicine, or another urgent need.

Our first goal is $5,000 — enough to get established and fund our first grants. You're helping build something that will be here for Gulf Coast creatives for years to come.

Raise a glass with us. Help us help them.

💛 Every gift, every share, makes a difference. Thank you.
