Brandon Deroche
While working as the director for Incubus’ Make Yourself Foundation, Brandon Deroche had an idea. Having spent his entire career in the nonprofit space, he recognized a gap and felt well-equipped to help fill it in.
“I had seen a lot of artists supporting different causes and initiatives that existed, and what I found was that there were platforms that helped raise funds, but it was such a missed opportunity to not only raise money but also to get the fans to take action and understand the work that these organizations are doing and why the band cares about them,” says Deroche. “There was a hole.”

As climate summit unfolds, no Biden-Bolsonaro Amazon deal forthcoming
The United States and Brazil have been conducting closed door negotiations to broker an Amazon rainforest protection agreement with the U.S. and other nations tentatively to provide significant funding, and Brazil possibly agreeing to pragmatic measures to end deforestation.
However, as the global Climate Leaders Summit progressed today, it became apparent that those talks are likely stalemated, with no deal announced, nor likely anytime soon.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has made it clear that Amazon conservation is dependent on a big financial investment by the United States. However, Amazon deforestation continued soaring through March, even as critics offered substantial proof Brazil is insincere in its environmental commitments.
