Playing it Forward: Young Musicians' Fund

Ensuring every child has an opportunity to learn to play an instrument doesn't just happen. It requires the efforts of many - each bringing their own unique talents, insights, strengths, abilities and willingness to make a difference. 

The goal of this fund is to support instrumental programs for young musicians in Little Falls. As an endowed fund, all contributions are permanently invested with a portion of the earnings used to support grants in three focus areas: 

• Playing it Forward grants: Support the purchase of instruments for beginning students in elementary and middle school music programs. 
• Cadence Music grants: Are awarded to local nonprofits, like Great River Arts, to provide musical experiences for young musicians. 
• Play it Again! grants: Support the refurbishment of new and gently-used instruments gathered for the use of beginning and middle school students.

Thank you! Your generous gift will be permanently invested to create a lasting legacy for the Playing it Forward: Young Musicians' Fund.
