Live Music Society supports initiatives that promote and preserve the performance and experience of live music. We celebrate the unique role small music venues play and we seek to create a community that can share best practices, innovate to thrive and survive, and cultivate the conditions for the next generation to experience the magic of live music. Our foundation makes grants to a community of small music venues throughout the United States, both nonprofit and for profit. We seek to fund sustainability and growth and ensure they can do what they do best - connect musicians and their fans.
