- b'WASHINGTON, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 1,000 Dreams Fund (1DF) and the Ila and Dinesh Paliwal Foundation are proud to announce the launch of the Paliwal Club of 100 Music Scholars Fund, which will finance the dreams of talented young women pursuing careers in music.\nThe new fund will help women in music accelerate their progress toward their career goals while in school and ease the transition into the workforce.
- Supporting and empowering young women across the music industry is critical because, in 2020 , only 20.2% of artists featured in songs that made the top 100 charts were women, and women held only 2.6% of all producing positions across the Billboard Hot 100 Songs.\n"1,000 Dreams Fund has worked closely with the Paliwal Foundation to support women in S.T.E.A.M.
- "Removing existing barriers like access to funding will further our shared goal of elevating women in the male-dominated music industry so that they may achieve their dreams.
- "\nThe Paliwal Club of 100 Music Scholars Fund is the newest addition and joins the Paliwal Club of 100 STEAM Scholars Fund, a partnership between 1DF and the Ila and Dinesh Paliwal Foundation that helps high-potential young women in S.T.E.A.M.
