We are happy to announce that the D’Addario Foundation has generously awarded the Academy’s Instruments in the Attic program with an in-kind donation of D’Addario musical instrument accessories in the amount of $500, which will be used in several music outreach programs that occur throughout the year, both in schools and beyond.
The Academy’s Instruments in the Attic program has been providing donated musical instruments to local school band and orchestra programs, community organizations, and even international initiatives for 10 years, with an ever-growing inventory of instruments collected from conscientious and music-loving community members like you.
The in-kind donation of musical instrument accessories from D’Addario Foundation will allow the Academy to keep the “recycled” instruments in top playing condition and will reduce the overhead costs of instrument repair involved in maintaining the outreach program.
The D’Addario Foundation is a unique non-profit grant-making organization providing monetary and product support to high-quality sustainable music instruction programs on the frontline to improve access to music education. The Foundation’s mission is to support programs that bring music back into communities and schools and get kids playing as early and as frequently as possible. The D’Addario Foundation believes in the transformative power of music and that mentoring and building communities through music can positively affect social change.
The Academy would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to the D’Addario Foundation for the honor of this award, and for recognizing the valuable contribution that the Instruments in the Attic program is providing to our local community, region and beyond!
