Your Support Helps Artists Create, Record, and Share their Music

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your donations are 100% tax deductible

Minnesota Songwriter Sanctuary is a fully volunteer-run nonprofit, which means 100% of your donation goes directly toward supporting local music. Your tax-deductible gift helps fund our Down to the Bottom concert series and allows us to offer free recording services to Minnesota artists—many of whom wouldn’t otherwise have access to a professional studio. Every dollar you give is a 100% write-off on your taxes and a powerful investment in creativity, equity, and community.

Music Gear Collecting Dust? Consider donating it to The Sanctuary for a Fair Market Value deduction on your taxes

If you have unused musical instruments or audio gear collecting dust, consider putting them to work for a good cause. Instead of dealing with 5,000 “Is this still available?” messages on Facebook Marketplace—only to be ghosted—you can donate your gear to the Minnesota Songwriter Sanctuary. Your donation will directly support underrepresented artists and community music programs, and you’ll receive a Fair Market Value tax deduction, often equal to what you'd get selling it online.
