WE HELP ARTISTS HELP CHARITY
Bubuti campaigns are like non-stop benefit concerts on the world's biggest stage: the Internet. We help artists use their music to rally their fan base and raise funds for the charitable causes they love.

We dig Blitzen Trapper and the good they are doing for WNRN. We are also digging this poster - wow.

Bubuti is proud to announce the Mike Poncy Campaign, which features Mike’s song “Working on the Breadline” to benefit WorkSource, a nonprofit organization that has been providing job training and employment services to persons with disabilities since 1967.
Mike Poncy is a singer-songwriter whose longing, easy-yet-gritty melody lines have earned him comparisons to artists like Jim Croce, David Gates, and Steve Goodman. Mike dropped by the BreadWorks bakery in Charlottesville’s Preston Plaza one day to get a molasses cookie only to discover a great charitable organization that was behind every roll and baked good he saw on display. BreadWorks, he learned, is no ordinary bakery. It was opened by WorkSource to give persons with disabilities real-world experience and training by giving them full immersion in the day-to-day operations of the bakery.
Mike was blown away by the experience - the cookie and the charitable impulse that helped create it. “WorkSource provides opportunity and incentive for folks to use their own faculties and determination to make something for themselves,” Mike says. Their success is apparent in everything BreadWorks makes. If every business in America put out quality the likes that BreadWorks does, we would be kicking China’s butt right now.”
Download “Working on the Breadline” to help WorkSource provide opportunities and resources for the disabled unemployed. To learn more about WorkSource, go here.
Artist: Blitzen Trapper
Track: “Love the Way You Walk Away”
Campaign: Bubuti: WNRN - Radio Blitzen Trapper
We’re honored (and humbled) to be getting the Bubuti ball rolling with the Blitzen Trapper Campaign, with proceeds benefiting non-profit radio.
For almost 20 years, the Charlottesville, Virginia-based radio station WNRN has been bringing independent, eclectic programming to Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, with a focus on breaking new artists and local music. Listener support is vital to the survival of WNRN (and other public radio stations like it), and we’re psyched that the campaign they’ve started on Bubuti with the alt-country/folk band Blitzen Trapper will add to their much-needed fundraising efforts.
The songs featured in the campaign were recorded by Blitzen Trapper at Virginia Arts Recording for a select audience, including a handful of WNRN members. As a supporter of public radio, Blitzen Trapper donated five tracks of their performance to WNRN so that proceeds could help the station continue to hit the airwaves with quality, commercial-free radio. “Love the Way You Walk Away” is one of the songs from that session. The rest can be found and purchased here.
This is Bubuti’s official debut post on Tumblr. We’re happy to be here!
For those of you who don’t know who we are, here’s a bit about Bubuti: We love music - we think it’s one of life’s great, awesome gifts that has the power to entertain, inspire, and influence. But we also believe it has the power to make a meaningful, measurable difference in the world, and Bubuti.com shows just how it can be done. On our site, charities and musicians join forces and create campaigns where music artists donate songs to a charity or cause they believe in. Fans download songs they like, and proceeds of every purchase go to the charitable organization associated with that song.
We like to think of our site as a virtual benefit concert where music is sold to help a charitable cause. Only here the music never stops, the number of causes is unlimited, and the venue—Bubuti.com—is open 24/7.
We’re just getting started so we’ll be adding more and more campaigns, both locally and nationwide, as more artists and charities get involved. This blog is our chance to share new campaigns as they come on site and to talk about the musicians and charities we believe in and work with.
