Save The Music partners with public school districts in communities across the United States that show an immediate need for support and resources to jumpstart or enhance their music education programs. These school districts often serve Title I schools, a high percentage of students qualify for free and reduced lunch, and own limited instrument inventory and materials prior to our partnership. Our partner districts are committed to investing in and building in-school music education programs for the benefit of student achievement and access to a well-rounded education. After establishing a partner school district, Save The Music grant applications are given to specific school sites by invitation only. All inquiries and questions may be sent via email to [email protected].
