Golden Egg is an artist-led initiative strengthening financial security for Chicago's freelance musicians. We offer retirement matching grants and connect artists to professional financial planners and vetted resources about financial planning. We aspire to build artists' collective power and create a vision for lasting, shared wealth in the music industry.

In 2024, Golden Egg awarded $50,000 in retirement matching grants to 16 local musicians (selected from 253 applicants).

We're currently raising money for future grants. In the meantime, we’ll continue updating this space with vetted financial resources and opportunities to connect with certified financial advisors.
