In contrast to other forms of philanthropy, benefit concerts occupy the niche of uniting communities to rally around victims of societal catastrophes through the universal language of music. In the past, benefit concerts like Live Aid have achieved great success, garnering public attention to crises like the 1983–1985 Ethiopian famine, but modern technology can assist concert organizers in fundraising. This research examines the most effective ways to use technology to improve benefit concerts and provide relief to suffering people, evaluating various stages like organizing, fundraising, and donating to identify areas for improvement in case studies for future application. Using mathematical simulations, this project will seek to determine the best practices for benefit concert organization at various scales to maximize fundraising. Then, by creating a benefit concert for the residents of Ellenville, NY, in collaboration with the event space and bookstore The Common Good, this research will put its findings to the test and provide a better understanding of the current state of organizing charity performances. In doing so, this project will explore how using different technologies, like social media streaming or promotion, can better raise awareness and funds for a good cause. As existential threats like climate change and pandemics become deadlier each passing day, it is unforeseeable that our society will run out of social issues or humanitarian crises to address. Research that seeks to make benefit concerts more effective and thereby alleviate as much human suffering as possible holds significant value in a world with so much turmoil.
