The D’Addario Foundation prioritizes nonprofit organizations that provide free or affordable music instruction to communities that would not otherwise have access to this opportunity.
Each year, we support approximately 200 nonprofits around the globe through three distinct grant opportunities:
- Immersive Music Challenge Ecosystem Grants
By invitation only, these 2-year awards provide cash and in-kind support to longstanding D’Addario Foundation grantees that offer free, immersive music instruction (minimum 4 hours per week per student), mentoring, and wraparound services that primarily serve low-income communities.
- Community Music Grants
These 1- and 2-year awards provide cash and in-kind support to nonprofits that offer free or affordable, robust music instruction (minimum 3 hours per week per student) with an emphasis on outreach and accessibility.
- In-Kind Grants
These annual awards provide in-kind support to nonprofits that offer a minimum of 2 hours per week per student of free or affordable music instruction, offer instrument repairs or instrument repair instruction, and/or restore instruments for donation to nonprofits.
