For her Artist Give, Indigo asked Newport Festivals Foundation to make a grant to Nuçi’s Space, which uses music to help prevent suicide. Nuçi’s Space maintains a health and resource center for musicians as a safe space to seek support and guidance. Funds will be used to provide music lessons with a focus on positive mental health.
