About Songs for a New Home

Information from their website:

Songs for a New Home is a coalition of musicians from around the world that want to help fund refugee support organizations..  100% of all funds raised go to projects that help refugee families settle into their new homes.

Here’s how Songs for a New Home works:

We release a new song from a different artist every month via our website, Patreon, and an email newsletter.  Subscribers 1) receive new music by an international musician each month, and 2) get to help support a small organization doing great work on behalf of refugee families.  Folks can become subscribers for anywhere from a dollar per month to, well, infinity.

Funds are set up to be delivered each month directly to our recipient’s Paypal account in order to make things easy and transparent.
