Music Performance Fund Announces Changes

The Music Performance Fund (MPF) has announced changes to its funding policy, effective with the fiscal year beginning May 2008.

Should you have any questions about the new policies, please contact the Local.

Music Performance Fund (MPF) is a non-profit, tax-exempt public service organization under section 501 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code. MPF is the world's largest sponsor of live, admission-free musical programs. The Fund was established in 1948 by the recording companies of North America and the American Federation of Musicians as part of their collective bargaining agreement. A small royalty on the sale of some recorded music is contributed to the Fund by signatory recording companies, and these funds are supplemented by co-sponsoring organizations. There is never an admission charge for MPF performances, and its performances cannot be used to raise money, sell merchandise, or promote political or religious events.
