The fairsharemusic story

fairsharemusic is a commercially run social enterprise with the aim of donating 50% of its net profits to its partner charities.

Why?

At fairshare we believe music has the power to inspire and motivate.

History

fairsharemusic is the brainchild of Lee Cannon and Jonny Woolf, who first hooked up in the 1990s, working for the same record company. Over the years, their experience of working on high-profile charity projects such as Live Aid, Amnesty’s Secret Policemans Ball and the Children’s Party at the Palace showed them that great things could be achieved by harnessing the power of music to help others. 

Fast forward to the late Noughties, and after a successful joint venture at Warner Music, Lee and Jonny came up with a plan to combine the world of digital downloading with online fundraising. So, in June 2010, they launched fairsharemusic, the download site with a difference. And the rest, as they say, is history…..

Why we're different:

Partnering with many of the country’s leading charities, fairsharemusic uniquely combines legal music downloads with charitable giving. As the home of feelgood downloads, it gives you the option to give while you get – and it won’t cost you a penny more to feel better about your purchase.

fairsharemusic makes donating part of the simple, everyday things you do. With a huge music library and competitive prices, fairsharemusic is just like every other popular music download site - except that for every track you download, it donates half the profit to your chosen charity.  

By embedding generosity into the enjoyment of music, fairsharemusic is helping to change the way people think about giving. The commercially-run social enterprise provides its charity partners with a powerful new music-based fundraising platform.
