ABOUT SONIC GUILD
Sonic Guild is a leading organization that builds community to support the creation and performance of new music by exceptional musicians. With a focus on providing resources, networking opportunities, and education to musicians of all genres and backgrounds, Sonic Guild is committed to advancing musician’s career opportunities within the music industry and empowering them to succeed. Founded in 2013, Sonic Guild (originally known as Black Fret) is a 501c3 public charity headquartered in Austin, TX whose mission is to build community that supports the creation and performance of new music by exceptional musicians. The organization is an innovative evolution of the age-old symphony patronage model that is instead focused on supporting popular local music. Together, Sonic Guild’s limited membership, sponsors and supporters have distributed over $3.5 million in grants and direct payments to musicians since 2013. In return for annual dues, members enjoy a broad range of private events in a multitude of venues. Grant recipients are selected annually through a yearlong process where members, advisors and prior grant recipients nominate, attend performances by and finally vote on their favorite artists.

“Sonic Guild Seattle is an organization that musician dreams are made of. We can all agree that funding the arts is vital, but sometimes independent songwriters and bands can get left in the dust when it comes to grants because they are not a symphony, opera, or classical music oriented…Sonic Guild changes that” - Cumulus
HOW SONIC GUILD WORKS
Each year, Sonic Guild Members pay dues ($750 for an individual, $1,500 for a dual, or $3,000 for quad membership) that fuel the organization’s events and grants. Members gain access to monthly private curated performances featuring an amazing cross section of local music, the right to nominate artists (along with a panel of music industry advisors and past Sonic Guild grant recipients) for yearly grant consideration, and the ability to vote for the allocation of grant dollars at the end of each season. Along with sponsors, individual & corporate donors, foundations, government, and strategic partnerships, Sonic Guild has built a new model of philanthropy to support the creation and performance of popular local music.
“It's pretty encouraging to see musicians get grant money they can use” - The Stranger
