Islands In The Stream:
The Spotify COVID-19 Music Relief launched today (3/25) with recommendations of verified organizations offering financial relief to the music community, beginning with MusiCares, PRS Foundation and Help Musicians. The streaming service is making a donation to these organizations and will match donations made via their page dollar-for-dollar up to a total Spotify contribution of $10 million. Donate and learn more here.
Additionally, Spotify is working on an optional feature that will enable artists to fundraise directly from fans, giving them the ability to drive listeners to a fundraising destination of their choice on their artist profile pages. Spotify for Artists users interested in this feature can sign up here to receive an email when it's ready. Follow here for updates.
