I'm organising a charity event. Can I apply for a donation from Sabam?

 

Sabam unfortunately cannot grant an exemption or discount on its members’ royalties. This is not about profit—Sabam is a non-profit organisation. The reason is simple: we are not legally allowed to waive the rights of our members.

Songwriters and composers, both from Belgium and abroad, entrust us with managing their rights. They rely on Sabam to ensure they receive fair compensation for the use of their creative work.

That said, our songwriters, composers and publishers do care about supporting meaningful charity initiatives. That’s why Sabam, on behalf of its members, donates €250 to selected charity projects. This way, we contribute to good causes while ensuring that creators receive the compensation they deserve.

You can apply for a donation via sabamforculture@sabam.be. The amount will be transferred directly to the chosen charity. And please don’t forget to request your license via MyUnisono.

On behalf of its songwriters, composers and publishers, Sabam wishes you the best of luck with your project.
