Propeller, the social impact and digital marketing platform that specializes in partnering nonprofits with artists, festivals, venues, and music lovers, has announced a partnership with critically acclaimed Vermont singer and songwriter Noah Kahan and his new mental health initiative, The Busyhead Project. Fans can visit Propeller to take action to win a VIP trip to Austin to meet Noah Kahan at ACL, merch bundles and more. Sharing its name with his 2019 debut album, The Busyhead Project will join forces with a handful of national and local organizations to increase mental health awareness, amplify discussion, and democratize resources. Its first goal will be to raise “$1 million for mental health” with Noah donating a portion of every ticket sold on the upcoming summer leg of his “Stick Season Tour”. Impressively, over $325,000 has already been raised for The Busyhead Project.
The Busyhead Project will direct donations and actions to benefit organizations Bring Change to Mind, Jack.org, Oasis Center, Project Venture, Rural Behavioral Health Institute, and Upper Valley Haven. These partners were selected by Noah for their commitment to mental health awareness, with an emphasis on local impact by providing access to resources.
On the road, The Busyhead Project will also spotlight local organizations who have positively impacted their individual communities at each show, making a donation and providing a space at the venue for the respective organization.
