About The TPA
The Touring Professionals Alliance (TPA) brings together those who run the day-to-day of the live music touring business with the goal of finding solutions to help our industry and crew. As an incorporated 501c3 Non-Profit in the State of California, funds raised go straight to our touring family and those behind the scenes in entertainment.
The TPA strives to address the unique needs of our community, including offering assistance in finding aid for crew members facing economic hardship, medical needs and tackling mental health issues. We are a safe space, creating a kinship being in a business that only we understand.
The TPA’s goals include:
- Addressing real emergencies including those facing medical situations, forbearance and eviction.
- Being an educational resource, spreading the word about various programs and work opportunities.
- Simplifying access for those entering our business via mentorship and education.
- Aligning the industry’s many vendors to ensure we move forward in a cohesive manner.
- Offering support via meetings, communication and distribution.
- Engaging with various Heath & Safety organizations to keep crew safe on the job.
- Developing a future option for Health Insurance or supplementation to offset premiums and expenses.
- Establishing funds so that when we have the next pandemic or industry shut-down, we are prepared and can be there for one another.
