Funding Criteria: 

Music Farming expands music participation across the U.S. by providing grants to 501(c)3 organizations that meet the following:

  • The program should meet a unique need, be rooted in building community, and provide a lasting foundation for music education. * We love programs that are tailored to a local community's needs and culture.

  • The program must demonstrate a commitment to equity, radical inclusivity, and a non-discriminatory environment for all in their community, regardless of age, background, identity, or ability. 

  • We prioritize programs that provide music education to strategically undervalued or economically disadvantaged participants, or to communities with little to no access to such programs.

  • The program should establish measurable goals and outcomes, such as the number of participants, skill improvements, or community engagement metrics, to measure impact and effectiveness.

  • Must have 501 C-3 status or use a fiscal sponsor that has 501 C-3 status

Music Farming is inspired by organizations and individuals that understand the importance of, and have a passion for, bringing the power of music into all lives. 


To date, we have proudly distributed $150,000 in funding to 8 organizations nationwide.
