words from our grantees

“The Goodmood Fund reflects a mission very similar to that of Nuçi's Space, which is to protect and support musicians. We are incredibly honored to have received a grant from the Goodmood Fund, a total of $3702, which goes directly into our counseling program to support the mental health of our community. Many of our clients are uninsured and have reached their wits end, uncertain about how to move forward. This grant, generously donated to us, allowed us to financially support 9 people through 12 full sessions of counseling each — which can create a life changing opportunity for our clients. The impact of removing the financial barrier for clients is one that simply cannot be overstated.

We truly could not do what we do without the support of our community, and we are beyond grateful for the generosity of the Goodmood Fund. Thank you for working to change lives, and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your work — the true impact of your actions on each of your clients is one that can hardly be put into words.”

“We were in a crisis in the middle of the country when our van broke down… [Goodmood] picked up our spirits and helped with our rental bill. We're so lucky to have Goodmood Fund…

They are doing wonderful things and we cannot thank them enough!”

Tamara B. (Portland, OR) / Bass, Vocals

"Goodmood helped me cover some medical expenses when I injured my knee and wasn't able to tour. They were very supportive and helpful through the entire process!"

Liam M. (Chicago, IL) / Guitar, Singer, Keys

“Goodmood helped us get back on the road. As touring musicians, our van is our lifeline… it’s really nice having that assistance and peace of mind that Goodmood gave us.”

Lowell H. (Asheville, NC) / Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist

"The Goodmood Fund showed up for me… during a family crisis in which I felt extremely defeated and alone. I am forever indebted to the Goodmood Fund, and I will hopefully be able to pay it forward in the near future! Thank you so much for the generosity and support…”

Hanna B. (Austin, TX) / Singer, Guitarist, Songwriter

"Goodmood Fund helped me during a tense, transitional time in my life. It feels good to have that little extra security when touring can be so taxing on your bank account."

Kaya N. (Hartsdale, NY) / Singer, Guitarist

“Goodmood has literally helped give my music career a second chance… not only does music rarely pay the bills, but it doesn't provide health insurance or pay for medicine either. Goodmood was able to help me pay off some of my most costly medication so that I can properly focus on my music career and tour. 

If you can at all, please donate or raise awareness to this cause because every single bit counts and helps to change the lives of musicians and artists like myself."

Darro C. (Brooklyn, NY) / Singer, Guitarist 

“Cannot thank Goodmood enough for the relief it has brought me. 

I was dealing with an overwhelming number of unexpected medical and mental health bills after an emergency and had no idea how I was going to deal with it all. Goodmood made the process so straightforward and nonjudgmental. I will now be able to pay these bills and having this financial stress off my plate has completely changed how I feel going through my day. 

Thank you so much Jack, Erin, and the Goodmood team!”

Anonymous (Los Angeles, CA) / Singer

“After suffering a painful knee injury that sidelined me from my instrument for two months, I was financially under pressure with medical bills and the lack of regular work. 

Thanks to the Goodmood Fund, I was able to receive financial support that helped me with my bills while I got back on my feet - figuratively and literally.  

I highly encourage musicians in need to consider reaching out to this wonderful organization.”

Leo Freire (New York, NY) / Drummer

“... I was diagnosed with an illness and unable to get my head above water. Goodmood helped me get in a better place financially so I could face the road ahead. I hope to pay it forward in the future. 

Donating to this cause will be vital to touring musicians in need.”

Colleen O. (Nashville, TN) / Singer, Guitar, Piano

“The Goodmood Fund does exactly what it says. It puts you in a good mood because they step in and offer help that takes the worry away about whatever your financial situation is at the moment.

This fund has been a help to me by assisting with my mortgage payment... getting our footing back has been trying, so organizations such as Goodmood is a little light at the end of the tunnel.”

Erica F. (Terrytown, LA) / Singer

“I was terrified when I needed emergency medical treatment amid tour cancellations in the pandemic. I couldn't afford the bill. Then I found the Goodmood Fund... I cried with relief! 

Thank you, Goodmood Fund, for truly caring about independent artists and providing such an incredible resource to our community. I'm so grateful you are here for us.”
