Sony Music Group (SMG) has announced that more than 90 new international, national and regional community organizations will receive funding from SMG’s $100 million Global Social Justice Fund.
SMG said the rollout was part of its “global commitment to take action against inequality and injustice around the world”.
Today’s announcement represents the third round of funding from the SMG Global Social Justice Fund.
In total, with today’s announcement, the Fund has contributed to expanding programs at more than 300 global organizations.
SMG said today (May 10) that recipients funded in the latest round included “community partners that help advance nonpartisan solutions in the areas of civic engagement, criminal justice reform, educational programming and youth advocacy”.
Partnership’s initiatives include a Black music certification and scholarship program
Ahead of its Jan. 18 opening ceremony in Nashville, the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM) has partnered with the Sony Music Group (SMG) in support of music education and other initiatives.
According to a release announcing the new alliance, SMG is the first music company to pledge its support of the museum’s mission. The announcement follows NMAAM’s recent acceptance of a $1 million donation from Amazon.
Developed through Sony Music’s Global Social Justice Fund, the partnership will initially establish the Sony Music Scholars Black Music Certification Program and Scholarship. NMAAM and SMG will collaborate on a curriculum, course and certification process that will introduce students to the music industry and related careers through Black history, music and culture.
