Mission
A Conscious Tune, Inc. (ACT) produces and promotes benefit concerts that raise public awareness about local organizations that have a remarkable volunteer base and a significant impact toward improving living conditions in New Orleans. Through benefit concerts and a website, ACT will spread education on the unique culture of New Orleans, issues confronting the city and the positive ways in which people can volunteer and contribute to the organizations that are coming together to find sustainable solutions for the people.
Services Provided
At each benefit concert, ACT illustrates the current conditions of New Orleans and the Louisiana Wetlands while presenting information on specific nonprofits and ways in which people can get involved and contribute monetarily. ACT promises to monitor the on-going efforts of the groups to which proceeds are allocated in order to make sure that the money generated is continuously spent effectively and is having a measurable impact on rebuilding New Orleans. In addition to our traveling concert series, ACT assists local nonprofits in planning benefit concerts within the New Orleans area. Also, ACT’s website, another integral part to our educational mission, offers information on New Orleans culture and heritage, local bands and artists, recycling and conservation, alternative health options, energy efficiency, renewable energy, green building, wetlands restoration, ways to seek assistance and community development while serving as a medium for the community to discuss these conditions and work toward progress. ACT extensively advertises for all of our sponsors, partnering groups, bands and beneficiary organizations at each of our benefit concerts and on our website.
