LEAVING A POSITIVE LEGACY INC

Positive Legacy is working to integrate music and service to benefit people and the environment. We harness the fan power at music events to give back to those less fortunate, bridge cultural gaps, and take steps to protect and ensure the future of the environment. We inspire participant’s activation and engagement at home in their own communities by teaching them that their party can have a positive impact.

Positive Legacy (PL) utilizes music as a platform to raise money and awareness to serve the community in greatest need that is in near proximity to the event. We achieve fundraising and awareness by teaming up with music industry contacts and musicians to amplify our voice by utilizing event ticket surcharges, running charity auctions and other fundraising platforms. We identify the roots of environmental and humanitarian issues by diving deeply into Needs Assessments of the local communities. These Needs Assessments include researching and utilizing local insight to identify how we can best make a difference. We strategize ways to provide grant funding and integrate humanpower with a hands-on service day experience that will leave an impact rather than more harm. We develop working relationships with our partners so that we can measure progress and sustainability, and continue to support them over the years. PL teams up with and provides grant funding to local nonprofit organizations that work directly to serve their communities. This ensures the sustainability of our funds since these community leaders are personally invested in overseeing the longevity and success of the projects to change the issue at hand.

Since 2004, Positive Legacy has seen a need within the music industry and has set out to fill it. We have created and polished a tried and true model that we are able to replicate and adapt wherever an event takes place.

This past year, Positive Legacy (PL) has distributed $122,770 to support our partners on the ground, providing environmental and humanitarian services including:

$5,500 to Widespread Panic’s ‘Tunes for Tots’ children’s educational arts efforts
$7,130 to Brandi Carlile’s ‘Looking Out Foundation’ for empowering those without a voice
$10,000 to All Hands & Hearts to support the rebuilding of the Bahamas post Hurricane Dorian
$10,000 to Backline to support the network connection of music industry professionals with mental health and wellness providers
$13,000 to Menos Plasticos for weekly beach clean ups and plastic education in Mahahual, Mexico
$15,000 to Trees Water People to support their Native American Solar Warriors program in New Mexico
$20,000 to Xcacel Turtle Sanctuary to support facility improvements and the preservation of this important turtle nesting beach in Quintana Roo, Mexico
80+ large boxes of school and medical supplies distributed to residents in the Mexico Yucatan and the Dominican Republic

We have cultivated a team of experts from all aspects within our industry. We have begun expanding our reach to find ways to serve our mission in the United States and develop new strategies for making an impact for people and the environment. We adjusted our bylaws to provide disaster relief and are currently running a COVID-19 Relief Fundraiser, in which we’ve raised $25,000 and distributed 100 micro payments to live music industry crew who are out of work. We are teaming up with artists, events and venues to fundraise and provide relief to the crews that are out of work, as well as inspire positive improvements and work within their communities. We plan to continue these efforts and support those who are out of work as well as supporting back to school initiatives to provide school supplies to children that need financial assistance to support equal opportunity across the nation and world.
