The CFM is a 501(c)(5) non-profit organization, and as such donations are not currently tax deductible. We are forming a 501(c)(3) at this time to address the issue, and it will be established in the first quarter of 2021. Please be on the lookout for the Musicians United Foundation.

***If you are an employer of any kind, music or otherwise, due to Department Of Labor regulations we cannot accept your donation at this time. We thank you for your interest.

The musicians of the Chicago Federation of Musicians play classical music, jazz, rock, latin, reggae and more. Within our membership, you can find musicians who will play any style of music and perform that music to the highest professional standards. We work in the region’s professional orchestras and theater pits accompanying Broadway productions. We work in clubs, at corporate and private events, at conventions...anywhere live music is needed.
