The music business model for lesser-known but nationally-touring and critically acclaimed artists has been severely impacted by streaming, making live performance the only realistic revenue anchor. Radius clauses and tight margins at financially-challenged public venues force superb artists to skip these markets OR to generate disappointing revenues that barely cover their costs. For the Song promotes FREE shows at private residential communities that then subsidize public venue offers -- delivering profitable multi-show visits in the community. Every dollar we generate for Artists before or doing every show goes to the artist, as we take on promotion, lodging, hospitality, production and artist curation via the fund, delivering great artistry that might not otherwise stop in communities of 200-500K population bases. In 2025, we hosted 9 different outstanding Artist Visits and promoted 23 shows -- 14 in public venues subsidized by 9 private shows. Artists left with no costs for housing, production, hospitality or promotion AND received an average of $7444 in fees from private donations and public venue contracts, dwarfing previous stops in Reno. Additionally, we signed two private clubs in addition to The Club at ArrowCreek for 2026 -- Montreux and Rancharrah clubs. We have been on radio and television, been invited on multiple podcasts and will be "keynote" speaking at the regions' Club Manager's Association of America in mid-may. Our club partners see increased membership satisfaction and NO increase in costs due to For the Song's model. This year we plan for 13 artist visits and over 30 shows promoted. Please note that in prior years we ran operations through the Community Foundation of Northern Nevada -- their 990 would have reported on all 2024 and a few tests in 2023 -- all Revenues and Expenses went directly through the Community Foundation. For "Grants and Allocations," I added Hospitality and Housing ($11,729) to the number previously described by Artist. Production was handled in the "Contractors" number. Additional Direct Program Service Expenses: Show/Artist Promotion: $5386 66750 5386 We have established superb relationships with a number of public venues, including Nashville Social Club, Piper's Opera House, Red Dog Saloon, Valhalla Tahoe, The Alpine, Reno Public Market, Loud as Folk/Nevada Museum of Art. 0 0 We have established a relationship with the University of Nevada Reno and work with 6 students as Reynolds School of Journalism interns. We get great work and creativity, educate future leaders and develop content for Artists free to them. 0 0 5386 Stanford H Goodman President, Treasurer 30 0 0 16011 Lynn Goodman Secretary 5 0 0 0 Nettie Oliverio Independent Director 2 0 0 0 Mike May Independent Director 3 0 0 0 Sean McGuire Independent Director 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NV Stanford H Goodman 10598 Rue St Raphael Reno NV 89511 7752418872 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 91005 91005 54683 54683 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 145688 145688 0 0 66435 66435 0 0 0 0 66435 66435 79253 287 287 0 0 0 0 287 287 0 0 0 0 0 0 145975 145975 0.54292 0 0.00197 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Roger Clyne/Willy Braun Artist - $4297 Courtney Patton, Artist - $4270 Taylor Hunnicutt, Artist -- $9,000 Karrie O'Neal, Artist - $350 Kimmi Bitter Artist - $2,730 Micky Braun and Jeff Crosby -- $8103, 50% each Nether Hour (Peaceful Hill) Artists -- $7640 Casey Shaw, Artist -- $200 Ransom Bros - Artist, $3975 Raul Midón, Artist, $7000 Walt Wilkins, Artist, $7000 Andrew Brozeck, Artist, $400, $5613 in Housing costs for Artists, and $6,116 in green room hospitality for Artists across 23 shows, plus $255 in Fiscal Agent costs for these grants.
