HD Music Now's "Make a Change" Program
To keep this brief, I've spent the past several months researching different charities with the intentions of choosing
5 different charities representing varying world issues. All of these charities have received a 4 or 5 star rating according to

All Licensees (Anyone we license music to) will get to choose one of the five charities below for us to donate to.
1% of the license fees received by HD MUSIC NOW will be donated to that charity.
The 5 charities are:
