Mission
THE MUSIC PERFORMANCE TRUST FUND (MPTF) was established in 1948 as a nonprofit independent public service organization whose mission includes contributing to the public knowledge and appreciation of music. Headquartered in New York City, the tax-exempt MPTF, operating under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, evolved from a landmark collective bargaining agreement between the American Federation of Musicians and the major recording companies of the day.

Today the MPTF is a vital organization that brings music to the public and provides admission-free, live quality music performed by professional musicians to the public of all backgrounds throughout the United States and Canada. MPTF supplements the income of musicians, all at no cost to those receiving this precious gift of music.
