As artists, especially those in country music, make philanthropy a part of their identities, Music Community Foundation aims to create a pipeline for them to give on a national level<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tArtists in Nashville have a long relationship with charitable giving. Some, like Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton<\/a>, and Kelsea Ballerini, even have their own foundations. On Monday, a new organization came online to help them, and artists of all musical genres, better earmark their donations on a national level.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusic Community Foundation is a national org<\/a> based in Middle Tennessee that aims to give musicians and their teams, from management to industry partners, a roadmap for charitable giving. Led by executive director Rondal Richardson, MCF counts Trisha Yearwood<\/a> as a member of its advisory council. The Grammy-winning country vocalist began working with MCF \u2014 when it fell under the purview of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee \u2014 during the catastrophic 2010 Nashville flood.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSince first partnering with the Foundation during the 2010 flood relief concerts, I\u2019ve been proud to be part of the work they\u2019re doing,\u201d Yearwood says in a statement. \u201cThrough the Dottie\u2019s Yard Fund, we\u2019ve been able to support animal nonprofit organizations and shelters in all 50 states over the past five years. This is just one example of what\u2019s possible when you have the right structure behind the heart, and it\u2019s how you create meaningful, lasting change in communities everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor years, the music community has been the first to show up when it matters,\u201d Richardson says. \u201cThis launch is about turning that influence into something lasting by giving artists and their teams a smarter way to build real impact. We\u2019ve spent decades earning trust and understanding what works, and now we\u2019re bringing that forward into the next era of music-driven philanthropy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Yearwood, Music Community Foundation is set to work with artists like Wilson, Hardy, Tyler Childers, Kings of Leon, Kip Moore, and others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
