Our Mission

Independent artists need a boost.

Megaphone is a 501(c)(3) founded by Sam Reich and Elaine Carroll to put money directly into artists' hands. Hollywood is making fewer things thanks to consolidation. Public arts funding is eroding thanks to this administration. The internet offers opportunity, but rarely without a boost — or, if you will, a megaphone.

We've already seen that impact firsthand: our project Pretty Gay helped transform our friend Catherine's life, giving her a huge platform and financial stability.

Established in 2025 as an experiment in "giving while living," Megaphone is built to outlast us. Every dollar is tax deductible. More importantly, every dollar helps an artist who has earned it, and needs it, to make something real… and maybe just make their career.
