Become a Patron
Because music streaming should build careers, not just line the pockets of people who've never heard the songs.
The Pack Music Co-operative is Australia's first musician-owned streaming platform, built to do things properly rather than just profitably.
When you partner with The Pack, you're not simply sponsoring an arts organisation. You're helping rebuild the music industry from the ground up, with fairness and transparency built into the foundations rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
Patronage Opportunities
We've designed flexible patronage tiers to suit organisations of all sizes - from community supporters to major industry partners. Whether you contribute financially or through in-kind services, your support directly enables platform development, artist payments, and community growth.
Why Become a Patron?
✓ Save Australian music culture – Help independent musicians actually make a living
✓ Pioneer ethical business – Join the cooperative economy and ethical tech movement
✓ Challenge corporate exploitation – Stand against platforms that keep artists in poverty
✓ Gain authentic visibility – Associate your brand with fairness and artist advocacy
✓ Demonstrate social responsibility – Show concrete commitment to fair labour practices
✓ Join a movement – Be part of Australia's first artist-owned streaming cooperative

Custom Patrons
Not every organisation fits a standard tier. We create completely customised patronage packages tailored to your goals, budget, and values - whether that's named program sponsorship, multi-year agreements, or cause marketing collaborations.
Let's have a coffee, tea or delicious beverage of any other nature (on us) and design something that works for everyone.

Patronage activation typically takes 2-6 weeks from initial contact. We're flexible, transparent, and committed to creating partnerships that deliver genuine value for everyone involved.
Please note: The Pack is currently unable to obtain DGR status as a cooperative, but we are working towards this goal. As such, patronages are not directly tax deductible, but should be considered part of a targeted marketing campaign.
