Causes
Music and the arts are our life’s work, but they don’t encompass the entirety our lives and beliefs. We are constantly reminded of our small place in the grand scheme of this world’s many issues. Our hearts and minds are focused on a wide range of causes that aid, rescue, and relieve our planet and fellow human beings.
The following are a list of some of the non-profit organizations whose work we feel deserves greater recognition:
A.C.L.U. • Accuracy in Media (AIM) • Amnesty International • Anti Defamation League • Blue Bear School of Music • Burners Without Borders • California Music & Culture Association • Conservation Value • Doctors Without Borders • Factcheck.org • For the Bayou .org • Glide Memorial • Hellman Fellows Fund (Warren Hellman) • Jungle to Jungle • Livestrong • Loretta Kowal Memorial Scholarship Fund • National Endowment for the Arts • No Mayo • Red • Save the Bay • SF Late Nite Coalition • Surfrider Foundation • TED • Tom Miles Foundation • TrustE • Truthinmedia.org • Veterans for Common Sense • Youth Speaks
