It’s been an incredible year. In 2011, FMC launched a first-of-it’s-kind survey on how artists are making money in a changing landscape for music; banded together with musicians and other creators to preserve an accessible internet; fought for community radio; and we continue to educate musicians about health insurance and an ever-evolving digital marketplace.

Your support helps us keep up this important work.

As you get ready to ring in the New Year, please take a moment to demonstrate your commitment to a brighter future for musicians.

Future of Music Coalition works to ensure artists have access to audiences on their own terms. We advocate for music biz structures that benefit musicians and not just entrenched industry interests. We fight for artists’ right to free expression and conduct original research that has proven invaluable to helping policymakers understand how their decisions impact creators and fans. We bring together artists, entrepreneurs, tech visionaries, lawmakers, industry experts and the media to discuss pressing issues at our Future of Music Policy Summit. We give musicians a voice in the debates that affect their livelihood.

But we can’t do it without your help. Please consider showing your support for our work by contributing — in any amount — to the Future of Music Coalition.

Your secure, tax-free donation ensures that we can continue to make a difference for musicians.

Thanks for all that you do. And here’s to a great 2012!
