Leading by Example with the ONE FOR MUSIC Program
November 15, 2018, Sonoma, CA Music Nomad announced a generous new Give-Back program called ONE FOR MUSIC. MusicNomad stands together as ONE with music and musicians and they are backing it up big time by donating 1% of their company sales to musicians and programs that play or promote music in everyday life. “Whether it’s being leaders in the instrument care category or for how much we give back, we prefer to lead,” says Rand Rognlien, Founder. Their goal is to support people on their musical journey and spread the power of music to feed their soul and those who hear it. The money supports local, national and international musicians and music programs. “Music Nomad started as a musicians’ advocate organization before we created products, so giving back is in our veins. While we have always given back we wanted to make it official and stronger,” says Rognlien. Some current examples are they donate supplies and uniforms to the local high school band program, award high school music scholarships, fund an interest free loan to a local music company in need, donate annually to national music non-profits, and many other donations are in the works as they expand the program.
Additional Ways We Give Back
Additionally MusicNomad launched in 2008, MusicNomad.com where musicians can discover thousands of ranked and reviewed resources to help them produce, sell and support their music. There are also hundreds of tips and articles to explore. With our goal to be authentic and passionate about helping musicians, we did not build in a lot of ways to make money with the website. It’s free for musicians to use everything we offer and that’s the way we will keep it.
GuitarTracker that we launched in November 2013 that helps musicians, repair techs, etc keep track and maintain their instruments with our free web based app.
