The audio effects company has donated proceeds from its Radiator plugin to humanitarian relief, with World Central Kitchen next in line.
Soundtoys has announced a $61,000 donation to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), raised entirely through sales of its Radiator plugin. The contribution supports emergency medical care across more than 70 countries, including recent efforts in Gaza, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan.

Radiator, a saturation plugin inspired by vintage tube gear, has become a vehicle for the company’s ongoing charitable pledge. Soundtoys directs 100% of Radiator proceeds purchased directly through their website to organisations responding to humanitarian and environmental crises.
Moving forward, all Radiator sales made after 1 November 2025 will support World Central Kitchen (WCK). Founded by chef José Andrés, WCK delivers fresh meals to communities impacted by natural disasters, conflict, and climate emergencies. Teams are currently providing relief in Jamaica, Gaza, Haiti, and other regions facing urgent needs.
“At Soundtoys, we believe in the power of music to help make the world a better place,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder. “I can’t say it any better than Chef Andrés: ‘When people are hungry, send cooks. Not tomorrow, today.'”
Since launching its philanthropic initiatives, Soundtoys has raised over $870,000 for various causes. Previous beneficiaries include the International Rescue Committee, the Red Cross Society of Ukraine, the ACLU, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Radiator remains available for purchase here, with proceeds continuing to support frontline humanitarian efforts. The plugin is used by producers and engineers including Mike Dean, Greg Wells, Kenny Beats, Jack Antonoff, and Finneas O’Connell.
