DGLevatEd
DGLevatEd Educational Residencies
DGLevatEd offers fully funded artist residencies for schools. No product sales. No quotas. No financial risk for teachers.
Schools book a residency, run a short fundraising campaign, and activate the artist fee plus administration fee. After activation, 86.5 percent of all additional fundraising returns directly to the host program. The remaining 13.5 percent builds the DGLevatEd Legacy Fund so future schools are covered.
DGLevatEd is designed to put world class jazz, Americana, contemporary classical, and roots artists in front of students without gatekeeping or barriers.
DGL Artists Booking and Touring
DGL Artists represents world class musicians across jazz, Americana, roots, and contemporary music. Presenters can secure artists for clinics, concerts, masterclasses, tours, and festivals.
DGL Artists handles routing, logistics, communication, and negotiation. Schools, PACs, festivals, and private organizations get a professional, reliable, and streamlined booking process.
AFO Music Publishing and Media
AFO Music™ is the publishing, production, and distribution arm of DGL Artists™.
We produce, record, publish, and distribute new works, archival releases, and reissues from DGL-affiliated artists. AFO Music also operates as a BMI publisher, producer, and writer, managing catalog development, licensing, rights administration, and educational media creation for jazz, Americana, and contemporary musicians.
AFO Music exists to give artists ownership, infrastructure, and a platform for long-term creative work. The division supports singles, albums, print music, educational materials, and full multimedia projects across the DGL ecosystem.
How Every Dollar Moves Through the System
Fundraising covers the artist fee and administration fee. Affiliate revenue builds the Legacy Fund and operational reserve. Sponsorships support major residencies and festivals.
This system makes it possible to send artists into schools without strain on teachers, boosters, or families. It also creates enough reserve to bring in large ensembles and national touring acts.
Upcoming Residencies and Projects
A dynamic list will live here. This includes upcoming residencies, festival announcements, DGLevatEd campaigns, and AFO Music projects.
Partnership and Sponsorship Opportunities
DGLevatEd works with local businesses, regional banks, national brands, and private donors. The Exchange gives partners a clear view of where their support goes and how it impacts students.
Corporate partners can sponsor artists, cover travel costs, or support the Legacy Fund.
