We allocated over $65,000 in direct funding to 220+ local musicians, empowering them with official contracts and giving them the resources they need to create, perform, and thrive.

We brought live, original music to over 160,000 virtual and live audiences across our city.

We organized 45+ events in 2025, including free community concerts, workshops, songwriter showcases, mental health discussions,
a street-wide music festival, and more. 

We provided on-site resources and booking opportunities to musicians at major festivals and events and expanded our community partnerships and outreach, collaborating with Cleveland’s best art, music and film festivals, independent venues, small businesses, and more.

Our Music Incubator program thrived with 7 participants in 2025 – with some artists experiencing career highs such as embarking on regional and coastal tours, signing with independent record labels, winning prestigious awards, securing gigs on the main stage at major festivals, and more. 

CR:PPF partnered with D-Tour, Live Music Society, and One Night Live to produce an 11-date regional tour in November for Music Incubator alumni Kid Tigrrr.
