I celebrated my 40th birthday doing something no elder millennial should do: a selfie reel on Instagram. I guess it's sort of a pre-emptive fundraising appeal for SydneyMusic.net.
The fundraising campaign that we started in May this year never really stopped, but it's been a challenge to keep the promotional momentum going - especially finding the right way to tell the story and help people understand what goes into running the organisation and what makes it worthwhile. A lot of it becomes wasted energy and grinding for the algorithm is not good for the soul.
It's also hard to fund an organisation while you're trying to fund yourself with other income streams - very mentally taxing.
Anyway, the above is true: SydneyMusic.net is about to run out of money very soon.
