IODA And Natalie Portman Team Up For Big Change: Songs For Finca Benefit Compilation
IODA, the global leader in digital distribution, marketing and technology solutions for the independent music industry, announced that it has teamed up with Natalie Portman to compile tracks for Big Change: Songs for FINCA. The 16-song benefit compilation will be available for digital download exclusively at the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) beginning October 30th for $7.99. Net proceeds will benefit FINCA, a leading international microfinance organization that provides financial services to the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs, helping them to create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living. Portman, who is an Ambassador of Hope for FINCA and serves as a co-chair of its Village Banking Campaign, is a noted music fan and is credited as an executive producer on Big Change: Songs for FINCA. With a distinct sense of how she wanted the collection to sound, Portman combed through suggestions from IODA staff and chose nine tracks from IODA's extensive independent catalog, including songs by Beirut, Tokyo Police Club and Sean Hayes. She also asked Norah Jones, the Shins and other musician friends to contribute tracks to the compilation. "I am honored that so many of my favorite artists have so generously lent these beautiful songs in the name of ending poverty," said Portman. "FINCA helps the poor realize their own potential through extending small loans to start small businesses. I'm so excited that two of my passions, great new music and microfinance, can collide in such an inspiring and world-bettering fashion. I hope you enjoy my favorite bands while supporting a truly meaningful cause." For more than twenty years, FINCA has been committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing community-based credit and savings opportunities. Currently, FINCA operates with a distinctive, integrated business model that accepts donations and investment dollars, an approach that leverages available capital and promotes greater transparency, sustainability and higher standards of business practices. This has allowed FINCA to achieve balanced financial and social performance unmatched in its industry while opening the path to socio-economic development for the lowest-income citizens of the world. Based in Washington DC with local operations on four continents, serving more than 600,000 clients, FINCA's outreach is among the broadest and most comprehensive of today's microfinance networks. "IODA is proud to have played a role in compiling the FINCA benefit album," said Adam Rabinovitz, IODA Senior Director, Retail Marketing. "We are thrilled to work with such an excellent group of artists and to benefit a charity which is so active in supporting independent businesses." The company will utilize its digital marketing platform, the IODA Promonet, to promote Big Change: Songs for FINCA to blogs, podcasts, and other music websites worldwide.
