Funding Resources

The D'Addario Foundation identifies the most impactful instrument instruction programs in communities of need throughout the United States and Canada and provides support to assist their growth and development. Grants are given to high-quality sustainable music instruction programs on the frontline to improve access to music education. The focus is on programs that bring music back into communities and schools and get kids playing early and frequently, with students receiving instrument instruction multiple days per week, throughout the year, and for as many years as possible in their education. Cash grants averaging $2,500 and D'Addario accessories product donations are available. (The Foundation prefers not to provide funding for the purpose of purchasing equipment or instruments.)

Interested applicants should submit a letter of inquiry; invited grant applications will be due June 15, 2021. Visit the Foundation's website to access the guidelines for submitting a letter of inquiry.
