Overview

Mission

WMBUI is a music and art centered non-profit organization that provides free music education events for marginalized youth in Central and Upstate New York. It also supports artists with production costs with the understanding that all profits from selling the music and art go towards charitable causes, such as local nutrition assistance programs in New York State.

What it reported doing in 2023

Donated $385.12 to the Schenectady Foundation's "Weekend Backpack Fund," a nutrition program for low-income youth in Schenectady, NY. These funds were all of the money made from the release of a song on streaming platforms. 100% of sales from songs created through the nonprofit are donated to charity, per our mission statement.
