Concepts4Charity (non-profit)

About Our Organization

Our vision is that our programs, projects and events will raise awareness, address important community issues, and inspire youth to make a difference within their community. Concepts4Charity, Inc would like to develop opportunities across the United States and the World.

Concepts4Charity.org & OurStage.com

Concerts4Charity (C4C) has partnered with OurStage.com to raise money for Concert4Charity’s “Who Cares?” campaign. 

“Who Cares?” was established to determine what social issues or concerns are important to society’s youth, providing a platform to voice their opinion on what programs or initiatives need to be developed within their community.  Visit http://www.ourstage.com/go/whocares and set up a free membership. OurStage.com will make a donation to the “Who Cares?” campaign for every new person who joins the community. 

Members of OurStage have access to download and listen to tracks from up-and-coming artists and vote for their favorites in 50+ genres.  Registered members will also receive 30 free MP3s to download.   

Data gathered from the “Who Cares?” campaign will be compiled into a publication that will provide vital information for the development of new Concerts4Charity programs that address community needs.  In addition, the campaign publication will be made available to other nonprofits, businesses and schools to help identify what issues or projects their donors, clients or students are most interested in.
