Can I restrict my fundraiser $$ to a specific school or city?

YES, but there are a few limitations. We are happy to discuss restricting your donation(s) to a Save The Music school in an area that we are projected to grant in. See current market list here. If we are not currently granting in your desired city, we can guarantee your money will go to good use rebuilding music education in public schools that really need it.

What are the rules to using the Save The Music logo and name in my fundraiser or event?

We are more than happy to provide our resources to make your fundraiser more successful, but we do ask that you use our name & logo appropriately and submit for approval before making anything public. Check out our “Logo & Name Use” page here.

I want to raise money for my students and my school, can I do that through your site?
Not quite. Our website will lead you through a step by step process to set up a fundraiser to raise money specifically for our organization and all the funds you raise will be directly sent to us.  If you’d like to raise money specifically for your school or organization, here are a few resources: Gofundme.com Donorschoose.org Also, check out our “I need instruments, but I don’t fit the grant requirements” blog here.
If I start a fundraiser through your site, where does the money go?

If you start a fundraiser through our site, your fundraiser will include a charity card. This means any money that you raise will be sent automatically to our organization, no need to collect or send anything. Your funds will go directly to helping support music programs all over the country.

As a parent, how can I get more involved in getting music into my child’s school?
 Resources page

  • Call your child’s school to find out more about their music program.
  • Speak with your child’s teachers and express your support of the learning opportunities provided by music education.
  • Form a group of concerned parents and attend local school board meetings.
  • Encourage community arts groups to form partnerships with local schools.
  • Keep music alive! Listen at home with your children so that an appreciation of various music styles can be fostered.
Can I perform/give a talk at a school?

We encourage you to reach out to your local school district directly for performance/talk inquiries. While we do work closely with school’s music programs, any question that relates to the day-to-day operations of the school and its schedule are best fit for the school administrators.
