Help Care for the People
Who Make the Music We Love.
The music industry asks a lot of the people who make it. Life on the road, constant travel, creative pressure, financial uncertainty, and industry demands can take a real toll.
Porter’s Call provides free, confidential care to touring recording artists and their partners, anywhere in the world. Our trained professionals help touring recording artists navigate the challenges of life in music so they can thrive mentally, emotionally, and creatively.
Since 2001, Porter’s Call has provided thousands of hours of direct care to thousands of recording artists and their partners, helping save music careers, marriages, and lives.
We believe everyone has a role to play in caring for recording artists. Your gift helps make sure that when an artist or their partner needs a place to turn, Porter’s Call can be there.
Give With Confidence
Porter’s Call is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In addition to regular oversight by our board of directors, we also participate in an annual voluntary financial audit conducted by Shawna M. Ridgeway, CPA, PLLC, as part of our commitment to transparency and responsible stewardship.
Your generosity directly supports the people and resources that make free, confidential care possible for artists and their partners.
