“We are more than seeds
We’re the soil and the water
The Good Ancestors

Once and Future Sounds
Branches Roots Revolution
It’s Our Time to Rise”

— Allison Russell

The Once & Future Sounds Fund works to improve equity in the music industry by elevating artists from historically marginalized and exploited groups. The Fund, inspired by Allison Russell’s pairing of art and activism, will launch two signature programs — The Once & Future Laureate Program and the Once & Future Festival — over the next three years.
