For over 7 years, our Founder & Executive Director Shaun Crowley and Record Label Lead Skylar Rochelle, have poured their time, heart, and energy into building Manor Records Foundation — all as volunteers. This fall, we hope to finally begin compensating them for their work.

With our record store closing and our Executive Director losing his primary income, we're launching this fundraiser to raise $6,000 to cover modest monthly stipends through the end of the year:

$1,000/month for Shaun (ED)

$500/month for Skylar (Label Lead)

(September through December 2025)

These two have kept the ship afloat for years—booking local shows, funding artist releases, managing community programs, and running our nonprofit on passion alone. Now it’s time to take care of the people behind the mission.

If you’ve ever attended Manor Fest, attended a Songbird Session, or simply believe in supporting the Kansas City music scene, now is the time to show your support.

Every donation helps sustain the heart of Manor Records and keeps our mission alive. Thank you for being part of the Manor family.
