Supporting the organizations that give back

We know that every dollar matters when you are running a charity. Music creates a welcoming atmosphere for the people you support, whether that is a community center, an aged care facility, a disability service, a hospice or a place of worship. It should not be a budget line you have to fight for.

With Melodial, your organization gets the same fully licensed background music service our commercial customers use, completely free. No trial period, no hidden costs, no expiry.

What's included

Everything our paying customers get, at no cost

Unlimited streaming

Access our full catalog of 50+ playlists across 24 genres, ambient, classical, jazz, pop, easy listening and more.

No license fees

We own every track outright, so there are no ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR fees and no royalties. Your subscription is your license.

Music License Certificate

Download your official certificate from your account. If a licensing body ever contacts you, show them the certificate and you are covered.

Who's eligible

In their words

Charities already playing with Melodial

Melodial's support has made a genuine difference to us here at Farfield Mill. As a charitable organization, every penny counts, and without the service they provide, we simply wouldn't be able to afford to play music in our cafe and retail areas. The music creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that enhances our visitors' experience and helps make the Mill feel vibrant and inviting. We're incredibly grateful for their generosity and for supporting organizations like ours in such a practical and meaningful way.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?
Yes. Eligible charities and not-for-profits receive a full Melodial subscription at no cost, with no trial, no expiry and no hidden fees.
Do we still need a license from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR?
Not for music played through Melodial. We own every track outright, so no ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR fees apply. If you also play music from other sources such as radio, streaming services or CDs, you would still need a separate license for that usage.
What kind of music do you have?
Over 50 playlists across 24 genres, including ambient, classical, jazz, easy listening, pop and lo-fi. All tracks are clean with no explicit lyrics, making them suitable for any environment.
Can we play music in multiple rooms?
Yes, if it's the same music throughout, reception, activity rooms, common areas, outdoor spaces, one subscription covers it as a single stream. If you want different music playing in different rooms at the same time, that is a second license, on Basic or Plus. Let us know in your application and we'll talk you through the options for your organization.
How do we play the music?
Use the Melodial app on a phone, tablet or computer. Connect to your speakers via Bluetooth, AUX cable or Chromecast. You can also stream through any web browser at app.melodial.com.
We have multiple locations. Can we get more than one subscription?
Yes. Just let us know in your application and each location receives its own subscription.
