Playing For Change is a United States–based organization that aims to inspire and connect people through the power of music. It began in 2002 when co-founders Mark Johnson and Whitney Kroenke hit the streets with a mobile recording studio and cameras to capture the heartbeat of street musicians, leading to an award-winning documentary. From those travels, the project expanded to recording and filming musicians worldwide, producing Songs Around the World and nurturing a global community. A core offshoot of the effort is the Playing For Change Band, a diverse group that tours internationally to share music and messages of unity.

To give back, the Playing For Change Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. The organization has pursued partnerships and collaborative initiatives, including a 2024 collaboration announced with WomenServe.
