Funding:
SW:S funding comes primarily from individuals, foundations and program income. We pride ourselves on stewarding our resources in order to maximize the highest impact for our participant veterans and their families.
Royalties:
SongwritingWith:Soldiers believes that the veterans should participate in the positive outcome from their songs, including potential royalties. To ensure this, all participants are listed as co-writers of their songs with ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers). In the event that royalties are generated from a song written by a veteran during one of our retreats, he or she will participate in their writer’s portion of those royalties. The veterans’ publishing rights are held by the registered non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, SongwritingWith: Inc. dba SongwritingWith:Soldiers. Publishing royalties held by SongwritingWith: Inc. will go expressly to further the work of SongwritingWith:Soldiers. Each of our professional songwriters has publishing agreements with their individual publishers.
