Eudaimonia
Dubstep Endowment

Financial assistance for the underground electronic music community, built to keep live music on proper sound systems accessible to artists, crews, and the people who make the culture move.

Our vision

A thriving underground music environment where financial barriers no longer limit creation or participation. We sustain the underground culture created by artists and communities — not gatekept by capital. We offer a resistance to rising economic pressure, where live music on proper sound systems is not a luxury, but a standard.

Mission

Offset the costs that keep emerging contributors out.

EDEN provides stipends, grants, and targeted funding for travel, creation, and live event participation. The foundation supports emerging artists, performers, photographers, vendors, promoters, sound engineers, and collectives working in dubstep and related underground electronic music communities.

Help keep underground music reachable.
