In 2024, Everett Music Initiative (EMI) has took the final leap into its non-profit status with a consolidation with Snohomish County Music Project, a 501(c)3 charitable organization. This is not only an important milestone for the organization, but this also means that EMI is now able to accept tax-deductible contributions and grants, offering vital funding opportunities. The ability for individuals and businesses to make tax-deductible contributions and reoccurring gifts will help sustain its operations and allow the organization to continue producing events and continue promoting Everett as a destination.

With events such a Fisherman’s Village Music Festival and Music at the Marina, Everett Music Initiative has become one of the largest independent live music event producers in Snohomish County.

Our mission is to build community through unforgettable music experiences, artist advocacy and development, and amplifying Everett’s identity as a destination. Since 2012, Everett Music Initiative has fulfilled that mission by:

• Contributing over $25 million to the local economy

• Producing or partnering on over 500 events and bringing 300,000 people to Everett

• Hosting over 3,000 artists from seven different countries and 13 different states

• Bringing over 5,000 overnight stays to Everett

• Producing events featured in The Seattle Times, Alaska Airlines Beyond Magazine, Evening Magazine, Paste Magazine, KEXP and more

Your financial support will not only allow us to continue our work, but also help us create events that will assist in our city by supporting musicians, venues, hotels, restaurants and coffee shops. We can’t wait for the future of Everett Music Initiative and to share what we have in store.

EMI events like Fisherman’s Village Music Festival and Music at the Marina provide businesses some of the city’s best opportunities to build awareness and engage with the community. To find out more info on business gift and event sponsorship opportunities, please email EMI Founder Ryan Crowther at ryan@lookleftmusic.com.

This contribution for goods and services rendered to EMI’s Founding Members is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Everett Music Initiative is fiscally sponsored by Snohomish County Music Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
