on tour

Cost-effective touring
If an artist is already touring in your region, booking them nearby can significantly reduce costs and logistics.
We keep track of tour schedules and can connect you with the right artists at the right time.

FUNDING & SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES

We’ve got access to funding sources and useful info!
Right now, there is no specific foundation that provides funding for tours and concerts by Israeli artists –  BUT we’re working on it and in the meantime, we’re making the most of what’s out there.

Support options : https://www.musicport.org.il/musicians-information
Here we share potential funding opportunities for musicians and provide tips and guidance on how to actually secure the funding.

Working with us

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Jewish and Israeli music worldwide.
Please note: we do not work with mainstream commercial music or celebrity-level artists.
Our focus is on authentic, cultural, and artistic content.

We’re here to:
✅ Help you find suitable Israeli / Jewish musicians for your program
✅ Assist in identifying funding opportunities and support

However, in order to keep providing these services and continue growing, we have a few basic guidelines:


How It Works
  1. Artist Selection
    First, you decide which Israeli artist or group you’d like to invite and let us know your choice.
    You’re also welcome to consult with us –  we may suggest other suitable options.

  2. Artist Availability & Collaboration
    We’ll contact the artist to confirm availability and whether they can work through our organization.
    If they already do – the process is much smoother.

  3. Official Invitation
    To apply for grants or potential funding, we require an official letter of invitation from your festival.

  4. Funding Applications
    Once the invitation is confirmed, we handle the application process in collaboration with the artist.
    (Note: If support is granted, the funds are transferred directly to the artist’s bank account.)

Timeline & Support Details
  • Review process: several months

  • Decisions are usually announced after 3-5 months 

  • Typical grant support: €2,000 – €3,500, depending on project scope

Financial Terms
  • The festival transfers artist payments (fees + support) via our organization’s bank account

  • We charge a 10% service fee on all income received by the artist (including support and performance fees) – this covers administrative and extended bureaucratic work involved

Important notes

We do not charge for consultation or any of the support services we provide.
If the artist does not receive any funding or income, we receive nothing either.
Our 10% service fee only applies when there is actual payment to the artist.
