About Detroit Sound Conservancy



After years of grassroots activism to preserve Detroit’s musical legacies, both on and offline, we have finally settled on a home.

And so we are creating a music research center and live performance venue at a historic jazz in Detroit. 

Now the real work begins.

Your monthly pledge helps us:

  • Preserve Detroit Music! Artifacts, records, photographs, documents, and a growing library of digital files, including oral histories, all in temperature-controlled storage, backed-up hard drives, and digital clouds.
  • plan our future at The Legendary Blue Bird Inn and Detroit Sound Center with confidence.
  • administer and coordinate our nonprofit’s efforts by paying for the basic labor to keep our programming regular, our grants fulfilled, and our eyes (and ears) on the long term legacy we are leaving our city.

What you get:

  • great music immediately to your email box!
  • acknowledgement as a supporter of Detroit's music history!
  • merch!
  • specially curated gifts by our allies and partners!
  • a regular tax-deductible gift to a cause you care about!

Detroit Sound Conservancy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit so your donations are tax deductible.
Goals
$771.30 of $1,250 per month
Our next goal covers our absolute core expenses -- e.g. co-working office, archival storage, insurance, cloud backup, basic supplies, tech upkeep, small administrative expenses -- plus the quarter time, hourly contract for our Projects Coordinator. This is the level that guarantees our capacity to maintain collections and plan for the future.
