****Team Up for Nonprofits is a Seattle-based nonprofit that organizes music events for other nonprofits in their Gigs4Good program. Created in 2009, they're building up to their 10th event benefitting a Washington state-based organization. The focus is on raising both funds for and awareness of nonprofits among the 20 and 30-something demographic. It's a great idea that allows good causes to gain support without having to start from scratch with music events.**

[Team Up for Nonprofits](http://teamupfornonprofits.org/?ref=hypebot.com) was founded by event producer Ryan Hodgson with friends and colleagues in the music industry. Though it focuses on Washington state-based nonprofits, they can be serving a population based elsewhere.

In a [video interview](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GsxLiVj5K0&feature=player%5Fembedded&ref=hypebot.com), Hodgson described the basic process as one in which they identify a nonprofit with which they wish to work, discuss the specific demographic group they wish to reach among 20 to 30-year olds and then find bands that will appeal to that demographic.

Calling their events Gigs4Good, they've done [nine to date](http://teamupfornonprofits.org/gigs4good-concerts/past-events/?ref=hypebot.com). Next up is a [concert to benefit Climate Solutions](http://teamupfornonprofits.org/gigs4good-concerts/upcoming-gigs4good-events/gigs4good10/?ref=hypebot.com) featuring Kris Orlowski with Dawn Mitschele.

In addition to getting more info on [their website](http://teamupfornonprofits.org/?ref=hypebot.com), you can [friend them on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/TeamUpForNonprofits) or [follow them on Twitter](https://twitter.com/?ref=hypebot.com#!/TeamUp4NonProf).

Though I have no reason to doubt their legitimacy, given their artist support and press coverage, I will have to say that having only a [web contact form](http://teamupfornonprofits.org/contact/?ref=hypebot.com) and Gmail account cannot be considered a best practice for any business including a nonprofit. It's quite likely they do not have a dedicated office per se but having a direct phone line and mailing address can be achieved without having an actual physical location. Also, there is no mention of their location outside of press coverage, which is how I comfirmed that they are based in Seattle.

Neverthless, I believe they are worth supporting and also provide a solid model for connecting musicians, audiences and good causes.
