CASH Music (Coalition of Artists and Stakeholders) was a non-profit organization based out of Portland, Oregon, founded by Kristin Hersh of Throwing Muses, Donita Sparks of L7, and Jesse von Doom. The organization was run by executive director Maggie Vail after Jesse von Doom resigned to focus on other matters. CASH Music took an open source approach to music production and distribution, and worked directly with musicians and labels to help design the tools they built.
