Grimalkin Records

When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Grim lost their job of 7 years. With no work available in their field and no financial dependents, they pivoted to investing all of their time and energy into making Grimalkin what they had always dreamed it could be, thus turning an incredibly challenging situation into a positive opportunity to live by their values and support others (a value at the heart of everything Grimalkin does). Though financially taxing, we were able to keep the label running with a combination of Grim’s modest savings and personal music sales, royalties and show profits alongside monthly supporters and one-time donations. In 2021 and 2022 prior to becoming a nonprofit, we received the Trans Justice Funding Project grant, which helped us create a business plan and pay for our accounting costs in 2022.
