Universal Music All Together Now Foundation

About Universal Music All Together Now Foundation

A defining feature of Universal Music All Together Now Foundation Inc is its mix of music-centered philanthropy and social-issue grantmaking: recent awards support music education, civic engagement, criminal justice reform, back-to-school efforts, and Black women and girls initiatives. The foundation’s largest recent grants sit at $200,000 each, and they include general operating support for National Academy of Sciences, Howard University, Charles R Drew University of Medici Science, Meharry Medical College, and Morehouse School of Medicine. That pattern shows a funder willing to back institutions directly, not only short-term projects. Its giving also reaches community and advocacy organizations. In 2025, the foundation supported Voto Latino Foundation for voter registration, NAACP for voter rides, and When We All Vote Civic Nation for general operating support. Earlier grants also included criminal justice reform support for The Anti-recidivism Coalition and The Sentencing Project, plus targeted funding such as Black Girls Rock for Black History Month and Girls Make Beats for All Together Now. Across these grants, the foundation’s work combines unrestricted support with campaign-specific and partnership-based funding tied to music, access, inclusion, and social impact.
