The D’Addario Foundation is delighted to announce its grantees for the second half of 2024. In this cycle, the Foundation awarded $165.7k in cash donations and $41.8k in in-kind product donations to support 83 nonprofit community music education programs across 27 U.S. states and 8 countries. These grants will help deliver music education to 156,000 children. 86% of the grantees are receiving renewed support, demonstrating the Foundation’s commitment to sustaining and growing effective music education initiatives worldwide. Among the newly supported organizations is the Agape National Academy of Music (ANAM) in Liberia, which serves youth in greater Monrovia through low-cost music instruction and instruments, promoting personal development and social growth in a region facing significant socioeconomic challenges.

Selection Process

The D’Addario Foundation’s grant selection process is rooted in its core belief in the value of music education for all children. The Foundation reserves its support for nonprofit organizations that offer free or affordable music instruction, early and often, within under-resourced communities. Numerous studies link active participation in music with improved social-emotional well-being, neurological development, and academic performance. On average, the students in this round of grantee programs receive 5.5 hours of music instruction per week, with some programs providing up to 15 hours per week. These programs offer robust music education and also support students with mentoring, homework help, meals, and college readiness at little to no cost.

Join The Mission

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the D’Addario Foundation seeks donations that help transform lives through music. Your contributions make it possible for the Foundation to support of critical music education programs in communities demonstrating the greatest need.
