If hunger were a country, it would be the largest in the world, but together, we can change that.
A Collective Voice. A Global Cause.
The Next Verse Collective is a global community of artists, musicians, creators, actors, and athletes using their voices, platforms, and art to help end hunger. It serves as the creative entry point into the broader 100 Billion Meals effort, Co-Founded by Tony Robbins, transforming songs, performances, and stories into powerful drivers of awareness and action.
Uniting across genres and backgrounds, members make hunger a shared cause by pledging 100 minutes a year to stand alongside fellow artists and help mobilize millions and billions of meals. Produced by legendary duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in collaboration with Dr. Dre, the opening track marks the beginning of a growing body of work that invites artists everywhere to join the movement. Together, the Collective becomes the cultural front door to the larger effort to end hunger.
Bold & Impact Driven
By joining, you can turn just 100 minutes of your year into meaningful impact on a crisis affecting more people than any single country. You gain a credible and well organized way to support 100 Billion Meals while staying true to your artistry and brand. Standing alongside other respected creators, artists use culture to amplify compassion and invite fans and followers to become part of a tangible solution supporting organizations in the US and around the world.
Artists That Are Part of The Movement:
You’re Invited to Take the 100
Minute Pledge
Artists are invited to take the 100 Minute Pledge and join The Next Verse Collective. Together with the team, we bring our unique strengths to life through performances, content, media, and collaborations that raise awareness and support 100 Billion Meals. From there, you can deepen their involvement through meaningful appearances, performances, and storytelling across key campaigns and events. Read the different ways you can contribute 100 minutes:
Turning Minutes Into Measurable Impact
After taking the pledge, you’ll partner with The Next Verse team to shape how your 100 minutes come to life over the year. Together, we will identify meaningful opportunities such as a signature performance, coordinated social moments, a special collaboration, or participation in a major event. The impact is tracked and shared, allowing you to see how each minute helps fund meals, reach people, and create lasting change.
