MPTF POLICY

MPTF funded events MUST be co-funded 50/50 with the event host.
This means HMG will pay the participating member/band at the MPTF rate, and will then invoice the event host for 50% of that amount.
The only exceptions to this are gigs at Senior Citizen/Retirement homes, and educational gigs held at schools; we will continue to fund these at 100%.

(Educational gigs at schools must contain some type of educational content that the students can learn.)

Thinking about an MPTF gig? Email the office so we can advise you. “It pays to belong to the HMG.”
