What is Beats4Love?
Beats4Love is a philanthropic campaign developed by BeatStars. Our mission is to inspire our community to contribute to charities and nonprofits that are in the fight to make the world a better place. BeatStars donates 100% of the proceeds collected to the charities and nonprofits on behalf of our creators and has committed to matching those donations. Organizations are vetted and chosen to ensure they are making real change with the donations they receive.
