Artists Against Hunger &
Poverty
Artists Against Hunger & Poverty
(AAHP) is WHY's program that enlists
performing artists to help raise funds and
awareness for the most innovative and
effective community-based organizations
working to combat hunger and poverty. WHY
offers artists, record labels, managers,
agents and fan clubs an opportunity to take a
stand by using their voices and resources
effectively — while doing what they already do
so well.
Many artists participate by donating
concert tickets for premium resale. Others donate
autographed memorabilia for auction. Some make contributions
on behalf of WHY and local charities from the stage and in
the media. And, in 2005, AAHP will kick off a signature
benfit concert series in partnership with The Hard Rock Cafe.
WHY's Reinvesting In
America (RIA) database is filled with more
than 4,500 profiles of grassroots groups doing
important, entrepreneurial work to help their
clients become and remain self-reliant. WHY's
RIA staff has pre-screened many of these
groups and knows the high quality of their
work.
Here are some of the artists (and fan clubs),
managers, agents and record labels who are
actively working to combat hunger and poverty:
Bruce Springsteen; Aerosmith; Backstreet; ASCAP; Peter,
Paul & Mary; B.B. King; Tom Chapin; BMI; Phish;
