Day 16

NAMM Foundation

We recently saw a tweet by our friend Ellie -- "I Wanna Play!" Check out the perfect way to put an instrument in the hands of a child!

The NAMM Foundation's Wanna Play Fund seeks public donations to support programs and activities that strengthen music education in schools and provide opportunities for people of all ages to learn and play music.  Specifically, donations to the Wanna Play Fund will provide musical instruments to schools that are expanding or reinstating music education programs.  Instruments will be provided to schools that demonstrate commitment to expanding opportunities for all children to learn music as part of the core curriculum and to schools that employ quality music teachers.  The NAMM Foundation will also provide instruments to individuals whose circumstances inhibit their ability to meet their full musical potential.  Instrument donations will also be considered for non-professional music makers in community-based music programs and people pursuing professional music careers.

Thanks for the wonderful idea Ellie!
