Picks With Purpose Mission

Picks With Purpose exists to turn music, generosity, and community into lasting impact.

Our mission is to empower artists, festivals, and community-driven organizations by creating sustainable fundraising opportunities that connect fans directly to the people and missions they believe in.

We believe the impact of music should extend far beyond the stage. Through memberships, donations, fundraising partnerships, live-event activations, and the collection and auction of meaningful artist memorabilia—including guitar picks, strings, drumsticks, setlists, and other stage-used items—we transform moments from live music into opportunities to give back.

For our artists, Picks With Purpose is committed to becoming a long-term support system. Partner artists have opportunities to build dedicated funds that can provide assistance during unexpected emergencies and, as those funds grow, help support needs such as merchandise, promotional materials, music distribution, marketing, touring resources, and other tools that strengthen their ministry or career.

For our festival and event partners, we work to create fundraising opportunities that help strengthen events, develop new donor relationships, engage sponsors and fans, and provide additional resources that can contribute to long-term sustainability and growth.

For our fans and supporters, Picks With Purpose creates a meaningful connection between supporting the music they love and making a difference. Supporters who choose to become PWP Monthly Members become an even greater part of that mission while gaining access to exclusive opportunities within the PWP network.

PWP Membership may include exclusive festival perks and experiences, early access to select artist releases and announcements, members-only opportunities, and access to special memorabilia auctions featuring unique items from participating artists and events. As our network of artists, festivals, and partners grows, our goal is to continue expanding the experiences and opportunities available to PWP Members.

Membership is about more than receiving perks. It is about becoming part of a community committed to helping artists continue creating, helping festivals continue growing, supporting youth, and turning the connection between artists and their fans into resources that can make a real difference.

A Voice in Our Impact

Picks With Purpose believes the people who help build this mission should also have opportunities to help shape its impact.

PWP Partners, participating Events and Festivals, Artists, and eligible PWP Members will have opportunities to vote on initiatives and organizations that may receive designated PWP overage funds. This creates a community-driven approach to giving and allows the people participating in the PWP mission to have a voice in where additional resources can make an impact.

Our goal is to designate these available overage funds across two primary areas:

50% toward Artists and Festivals — supporting approved opportunities that help artists overcome challenges, pursue meaningful projects, expand their reach, and continue creating, while helping festivals and events strengthen their programs and serve their communities.

50% toward Youth Organizations and Initiatives — investing in organizations and projects that provide opportunities, resources, mentorship, development, and positive experiences for young people.

Through this model, every level of Picks With Purpose can participate in giving back. Artists can support other artists. Festivals can help other events grow. Members can help determine where resources are invested. Together, the PWP community can help create opportunities that extend far beyond a single concert or fundraising campaign.

Every membership, donation, auction, and fundraising opportunity has a purpose behind it—giving supporters a tangible way to become part of something larger than themselves.

As a faith-based organization, we seek to operate with integrity, generosity, accountability, stewardship, and a heart for serving others. While our foundation is rooted in Christian values, Picks With Purpose is committed to creating opportunities to serve, encourage, and make an impact beyond the walls of any single church, stage, festival, or community.

Our vision extends beyond today’s fundraising needs. We want to help build an ecosystem where artists can continue creating, festivals can continue gathering communities, young people can be given new opportunities, and resources can be directed toward projects capable of creating lasting change.

We don’t want meaningful moments from the stage to simply become memories.

We want to give them purpose.

Recover. Repurpose. Give Back.

Picks With Purpose — where music creates memories, generosity creates opportunity, and every pick can have a purpose.
