The AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund operates as a not-for-profit royalty collective established to administer and distribute copyrighted royalties on behalf of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists/SAG-AFTRA. Based in Valley Village, California, the organization functions as a third-party administrator that collects royalties from foreign territories and other government-statutory sources under U.S. Copyright Law for its member unions and affiliated artists. Its role centers on ensuring the distribution of these rights-derived payments to eligible recipients, supporting the broader ecosystem of performers and recording artists. The Fund is part of a broader field of collective rights organizations that manage and channel intellectual property revenues within the music and entertainment industries. A notable recent development includes the appointment of Stefanie Taub as Chief Executive Officer in March 2018, reflecting leadership changes within the organization and its affiliated bodies.
