About Us
EarthPercent (registered charity number 1188391) is the music industry's climate and nature foundation. We believe music is one of the most influential cultural forces in the world: artists alongside the music industry have a unique ability to shape public conversation, raise funds and inspire action for life on Earth. At a time when the climate and nature crisis are one of the greatest challenges ever faced, we work to harness that influence for meaningful impact and cultural change.
We invite artists and music organisations to support a growing fund for climate and nature solutions, enabling vital work around the world while building a stronger culture of action across the industry. Guided by our independent Expert Advisory Panels, we distribute funds to high-impact organisations that protect and restore nature, build more livable futures and support music.
Since launching, we have distributed more than $2.5 million to 31 organisations with the support of over 400 artists, industry and music businesses. But our work is more than funding: its beating heart is this growing community who believe music can play a meaningful role in creating change and use their influence and art to do so.
This is an exciting moment to join EarthPercent. We've built EarthPercent through trust, relationships and a genuine sense of love in our community - we're looking for someone who can continue to nurture and grow this with care and energy.
