Donate As You Download

• 26th Jul 2010

Great Ormand Street Hospital is joining other leading charities to become a founding partner of fairsharemusic (link), the new music download site doing good things with great music. Music lovers can now donate to GOSH as they download, at no extra cost and with a huge music library to choose from that includes the hottest new releases.

fairsharemusic is a unique new music download site where the music you buy really does make a difference. With over 8.5 million tracks and prices starting at 79p per track, fairsharemusic is not dissimilar from other popular music sites – except that for every track you download, it donates half the profit to your chosen charity. The more you download, the more it donates.

“Having worked on high-profile charity projects such as Live Aid and the Children’s Party at the Palace, we know that great things can be achieved by harnessing the power of music to help others,” comments Lee Cannon, Cofounder of fairsharemusic. “By offering the same quality experience and value that people have come to expect from established music sites, we’re giving them the opportunity to make a difference – without doing anything differently.”

Great Ormand Street Hospital joins an impressive line-up of founding partners to help make fairsharemusic a success. These include Amnesty International, British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, Centrepoint, Friends of the Earth, NSPCC, Oxfam, Sue Ryder Care, Teenage Cancer Trust and WWF.

“fairsharemusic is a fantastic example of ‘embedded generosity’, where donating to charity becomes a part of the simple, everyday things you do,” comments [enter charity spokesperson]. “It all adds up to a load of great music for our supporters, and a very good thing for charities like us. When you consider how much music is downloaded every day, it’s not difficult to see how fairsharemusic genuinely could make a huge difference.”
