In this past year, it has given out more than $8,200 in grants to four musicians. Lyne said the amount of grants given out varies each year based on how many musicians apply.
Ruzik said she has become close with local musicians through I Heart Local Music and knows how much effort they put into their work.
"They've been through a lot of things," she said. "That's where the Midwest Music Foundation steps in and really helps them out and fills in the gaps in their lives and makes living a little easier so they can keep creating music."
"One thing that's been really incredible about the KC music community is a lot of time they're like 'No, someone else needs it worse, we'll get by,' Lyne said.
Even though Lyne reaches out to musicians if she has heard they are in need, she said it is still a struggle to get musicians to apply for grants.

While preparing the calendar, Ruzik said she also noticed this selflessness in the musicians, even for the photoshoot.
"It was a lot of hard work to get this together, but at
the same time there were musicians who put it out there for this," she said. "One guy jumped into a freezing cold pool, another band had to hula-hoop in front of traffic. It's pretty admirable that they did all of this just to put the calendar out."
Although the main focus of the calendar is supporting local music, the production of the calendar supported local businesses as well. Ruzik said the photos in the calendar were taken around Lawrence, and local clothing stores like Wild Man Vintage donated items for the musicians to wear. The calendar was also
printed from Blue Collar Press a local company.
"Rather than spending 100 bucks to see somebody big at the Sprint Center, you should spend five bucks to check out a local band," Lyne said. "There's a lot of great music to be had."
This message of community and supporting local musicians that comes from the calendar encourages music fans to explore music being made in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas. Lyne said the music fans can support musicians by simply going to shows, buying CDs and recognizing the wide variety of music being made.

Because of the turnout, Larkin said he and a group of developers are in the early stages of building a permanent food truck park downtown.
Ireland said she looks forward to having a hub for food trucks in town. "Granted, we're not a meal, we're just dessert, but people can eat affordably with food trucks and get good food," she said. "It builds community."
