About Us
Mission
Interplanetary Help Desk produces benefit concerts for nonprofits.
We help nonprofits raise money, while supporting music venues and musicians.
Our model is simple: We produce a benefit concert and the nonprofit partner sells the tickets. The venue manages the show. We cover the cost through sponsorships. The nonprofit keeps all the ticket revenue.
The Big Idea
What if there was a way to raise money for nonprofits that is more fun, less work, and gets everyone dancing?
Nonprofits can reach big groups of supporters. But fundraisers are high risk and lots of work.
Music venues are great at hosting concerts. They need help with marketing and generating reliable revenue.
Sponsors want to support local causes and artists. They need multi-event packages that are less hassle than multiple small sponsorships.
We bring them together. Everyone wins.
