‘NORF SUPPORT

DONOR DRIVE: JUNE 8-14, 2025 ~

DONOR DRIVE: JUNE 8-14, 2025 ~

As we celebrate our 20th year, this donor drive is all about fueling Nief-Norf’s next chapter — supporting adventurous artists, bold ideas, and community-centered programs. These funds specifically help us continue to lower tuition for NNSF fellows while increasing our artist stipends and performance capabilities, as well as support the year-round operations of our ‘Norf team.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our board, donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000!

Please view both monetary & non-monetary ways to support Nief-Norf below!

Every gift brings us closer to our goal and helps build a strong foundation for the future. Thank you for being part of it!

WAYS TO SUPPORT

MONETARY

  • Make a financial contribution via PayPal, Square, Venmo, or check

  • Purchase ‘Norf merchandise (we only make $1-5 profit/item, but every dollar counts!)

  • Purchase a Tennessee Arts License Plate — this supports the arts in all 95 of Tennessee’s counties (TN residents only)!

All financial contributions are fully tax-deductible, and you will receive an official tax letter at the conclusion of the calendar year!

NON-MONETARY

  • Spread the word about Nief-Norf to your friends, family, and anyone interested in new music!

  • Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube — liking posts and/or just commenting a lil emoji will do wonders for our overall engagement & nudge the social media algorithm in our favor!

  • Attend our live events (all free!) or watch the livestreams — invite everyone you know!

  • Advocate for the arts at the city, state, and national level !!
