Direct Contributions

We're never
on hiatus!

Direct Contributions to the Foundation

Your tax-deductible donation funds music education for children with almost no overhead: We keep adminstrative costs below 1% by having no salaries, paid staff, or office, distributing as much as possible directly to fantastic organizations that need whatever level of generosity you can muster!

We'll acknowledge your contribution on this website, send a written acknowledgement for tax purposes, and mail an appropriate donation premium, one of many items that may include CDs, books, pendants, water bottles, and more.

If you can contribute via credit card, the Paypal options below enable incremental premium status.

We also invite inquiries about larger donations (those above $1,000) for special arrangements.

Online with Paypal:

You can donate through a secure online transaction, using a credit or debit card and this certified Paypal link:

You can also estabish a subscription donation - automated regular contributions via Paypal that let you support music education on an ongoing basis, in smaller increments that build over time, without having to think about it again:

You may also use the "comment" area to indicate any contribution made in memory of someone (e.g., Andrew Briggs or Dave McMoyler Jr.) or in their honor, such as for a gift. We will immediately send a notification letter to the honoree or an acknowledgement letter to their family, as appropriate.
