MusicHelps was originally established in 2012 under the name “The New Zealand Music Foundation”. Through our Grants Programme we have invested in more than 70 projects with 42 partners from Whangarei to Invercargill, all using the power of music to change the lives of over 60,000 New Zealanders in need.

We’ve also provided emergency assistance to hundreds of kiwi music people experiencing hardship and illness through our Backline suite of services, including a world first professional online, on-the-phone and face-to-face counselling service tailored to people who make live and recorded music possible.

What makes us different is that we’re dedicated to developing and sustaining exciting projects that all have one thing in common: they change lives through music. They make a positive difference to people in need in New Zealand in extraordinary ways and show the world what is possible through the magic of music.
