Philly Music Fest started in 2017 at one venue (World Cafe Live), donating $15,000 to music education for kids. PMF has gradually expanded to a full week of shows featuring Philly musicians and now annually donates $100,000 to music education, after paying all musicians and venues. PMF estimates annual impact on Philly’s music scene at $500,000. Despite receiving donations from several local businesses, both large and small, along with individual donors including Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata and Connor Barwin, PMF maintains a strict policy of no corporate advertising or banners, assuring focus on the music and maintaining a DIY atmosphere. In addition to the donations to music education, PMF established a microgrant fund in 2020, initially deploying over 330 microgrants to musicians suffering as a result of COVID-19, but now utilized to assist musicians with healthcare issues, as well as stolen gear or extreme financial distress.
