The D’Addario Music Foundation awards grants and product donations to programs that offer opportunities for active participation in music for children and adults, particularly for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Recently funded programs include a partnership with inner-city elementary and middle schools to develop schoolwide music programs; afterschool music programming for children in urban, underserved communities; workshops and summer camps for children at all musical skill levels; and youth academies with musical instruction and experiences in writing, recording, and performing.
