About The Hello In There Foundation  

Established in 2021 by the family after John’s death, the work of the foundation is inspired and guided  by John’s simple song title, Hello In There. The foundation mobilizes John’s intensely devoted  community of supporters in order to raise resources through tax-deductible donations, event revenue,  and sponsorships. In turn, the foundation, often with matching funds from the Prine Family and Oh Boy  Records, gives grants to nonprofit organizations that align with John’s ethos, with a particular priority for  supporting community nonprofits dedicated to caring for those who are marginalized, discriminated  against or, for any reason, are otherwise forgotten. 

About Oh Boy Records

The label is run by the Prine family, and is the second oldest artist-run independent label in the  U.S. The label continues to expand its catalog with a dedication to authentic voices, giving songwriters a  platform to create art while speaking their truth.
