The Tanging Yaman Foundation is a non-profit Philippine organization which bridges the generosity of countless Filipinos. 

Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. (Tanging Yaman), a non-profit Philippine organization, was established in 1992 when Fr. Manuel "Manoling" Francisco, SJ first performed his original liturgical music with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO). Almost every year, Fr. Manoling would perform with the PPO or the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

These concerts, entitled Tanging Yaman: Himig at Pananalig, graced the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Meralco Theatre, the UP Theatre, and other major Philippine theaters. The concerts even went on tour to Batangas, Quezon Province, and Ifugao.

 

In addition to the orchestra, these Tanging Yaman concerts featured choirs like Bukas Palad, Hangad, Bungang Himig, Tinig Barangka, the Pansol Choir, and popular artists like Basil Valdez, Dulce, Ogie Alcasid, Ariel Rivera, Jamie Rivera, and Nolyn Cabahug. Apart from celebrating Filipino music and Filipino faith, the concerts also raised funds for institutions that build and nurture local communities.

 

Some of the beneficiaries of the Tanging Yaman concerts were have been the Sibol-Hesus School for gifted public school children of Mr. Onofre Pagsanghan; the Alagad ni Maria Youth Center in Infanta; the Quezonians Home for the Aged; the Kiangan, Ifugao Scholarship Fund; the Diocesan Seminary in Lipa, Batangas; Our Lady of the Pentecost Parish in Loyola Heights; Mary the Queen Parish in San Juan; the Ateneo de Manila High School Scholarship Fund; and the School of Living Tradition in Benguet.

 

Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. has then evolved from being an annual liturgical concert to being a conduit foundation, bridging the generosity of countless Filipinos here and abroad to the vital needs of their fellow men and women in the Philippines.

Help us to perpetuate a musical tradition of the highest quality at Notre-Dame de Paris 

**The association "Musique Sacrée à Notre-Dame de Paris" promotes the transmission of the musical heritage of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral by training singers (150 pupils and students aged 5 to 28), organizing concerts and providing liturgical animation in the cathedral.**

"Musique Sacrée à Notre-Dame de Paris" is responsible for coordinating all the cathedral's musical activities :

- Providing musical entertainment for the cathedral's celebrations 

- Organizing concerts and performances in the cathedral and abroad

- Creating and performing new repertoires 

- Producing music recordings

**The destruction caused by the fire at the Cathedral in 2019 and then the pandemic have seriously weakened the association. But since December 7, the singers have been back in “their” cathedral, and have the immense joy of singing there every day !**

**Thank you for helping us keep the music alive at Notre-Dame de Paris !**

*The association was created in 1991 by the joint will of the Ministry of Culture, the City of Paris and the Archdiocese of Paris. This decision was based on the ambition to preserve the excellence of musical practice associated with the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, a major landmark in the history of France.*

Stringendo is a 501c3 organization focused on the arts. It is based in Poughkeepsie, NY and received its nonprofit status in 2009.

Stringendo music school nurtures a diverse group of young string players to become passionate musicians and accomplished performers.  Through orchestra concerts and fiddle gigs, in private lessons and summer music camps, students cultivate life skills: the ability to listen, to lead and, above all, to work together to achieve the extraordinary.

Stringendo maintains a generous financial aid program, and no student is ever turned away due to financial need.   We work hard to extend services into areas that have been traditionally underserved, and our most recent partnership with students in the City of Poughkeepsie has been wildly successful. Our PK Strings group offers after-school classes and musical instruments to motivated students in Poughkeepsie’s elementary, middle, and high school grades, teaching the basics and providing transportation to Saturday classes and Summer Camp, as well as instruments and meals when needed.

Tuition is always kept affordable, well below "industry standard," to make string education accessible to all.   As a result, our Saturday Orchestra program, Tuesday Fiddle Program and Summer Camp attract students from all over the Hudson Valley and beyond.   Our student retention rate is extremely high and many of our older students volunteer as mentors/counselors to our younger students as part of our "morning helper" and "fiddle helper" programs.   Once graduated, many of our students return, either as teachers, camp counselors, workshop instructors, or as visiting alumni, creating a strong and vibrant community of string players at all ages and abilities.     Our goal is to continue to expand our reach, to be sure that any child interested in playing a string instrument has the resources and ability to do so.  Donations received will help us continue to provide the high caliber of string education Stringendo has become known for.  

 Please consider helping us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of local youth.

Our mission is to develop and unite the next generation of vocal powerhouses to succeed through stellar education and unwavering mentorship.

**Once an artist has been accepted to the Conservatory, we work with them to identify needs and give support.** Our goal is to make financial aid available to every artist in need and strive to make their educational dreams a reality.

Only 8% of families in the US can afford to send their children to college. So where does that leave the rest? 92% of families rely on loans, credit card debt, financial aid in subpar programs or a lack of education altogether.

HVS Conservatory is bridging that gap in the music world by working with artists and their families to find affordable solutions to getting the education they need to kick start their careers in this competitive industry.

It costs $33,200 a year to put an artist through our Full Time program, and only $16,600 Part Time. By making an annual or monthly tax deductible contribution, you are helping discover the next generation of vocalists who wouldn’t have the opportunity to be seen by LA’s most acclaimed professionals. And the city’s cultural landscape will continue to thrive and be admired by everyone around the world.

Every scholarship recipient has the opportunity to take classes in vocal technique, songwriting, performance, style, ear training, production, engineering, piano, guitar, branding, marketing, and basic music business. Our curriculum has been written and developed by our elite faculty with years of education and professional experience making it the most modern curriculum you will find in the marketplace.

90% of your donation money goes directly to our scholarship program, which supports the financially underserved demographic in the country. And our free community events are centered around fostering a strong culture for vocalists to be mentored, learn industry standards, get professional experience, and grow to their full potential.

By going through our program, every artist gains a music community for life.

Our renowned mentors and faculty go above and beyond to support our students on their journey. And we have access to all the major and indie record labels, major and indie producers, managers, songwriters, and recording studios LA has to offer.

By becoming a donor for this phenomenal program, you have the opportunity to volunteer, attend our events, and mentor scholarship recipients.

The Academy is at the heart of the Verbier Festival — a dynamic laboratory where future talents are discovered and nurtured.

**BECOME A MEMBER OF THE FRIENDS**

[Web site Friends of Verbier Festival](https://https://www.verbierfestival.com/en/support/friends/)

The Verbier Festival Friends Associaton was launched in 1993, when a group of music-loving donors was inspired by the idea of a two-week festival of classical music in the Swiss Alps in Valais. The Founder & Director Martin Engstroem calls his Verbier Festival "a waking dream"— a dream that would not have been realised without the consistent generosity and personal commitment of the Friends. Their support for the Festival as a whole, and notably for its learning programmes and major artistic projects, has been crucial to its rise to the top: the Verbier Festival is now one of the world's most renowned classical music events, blazing a trail into the 21st century.

Each donation made to The Friends of the Verbier Festival fund at Myriad (ex-KBFUS) is subject to a 5% administrative fee. These fees constitute costs to Myriad to administer donations made to the VF Friends Association; they total less than it would cost to operate a U.S. chapter of the Friends Association as a separate 501-C3 entity. The Association is nevertheless grateful to donors willing to top-up their donations by 5% to cover these fees.

The Verbier Festival is an international classical music event that takes place each summer in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland. The Festival's mission is to build a community of exchange between great masters and young artists from all over the world and to be a leader in its field by providing meaningful music education programmes.

Launched in 1994, and now globally renowned, the Festival welcomes audiences with a distinctive and exhilarating blend of events, both large-scale and intimate. Audiences from around the globe come to experience music-making at the highest level in a setting that brings them close to star performers, rising talent and a complete process of learning, rehearsal and performance.

The Festival's Academy is its respiratory system—a laboratory where future talents are discovered and nurtured. It sets the gold standard for the training of emerging soloists, chamber and orchestral musicians, singers and conductors. Each summer, audiences witness these musicians in action at more than 100 masterclasses, rehearsals and performances. The Verbier Festival Orchestra has become a rite of passage for today's exceptional young orchestral musicians and the Academy's programmes for soloists, chamber musicians and singers include an impressive list of alumni from over 60 countries who have been engaged by the world's leading concert presenters since their time in Verbier.

Lerici Music Festival, an annual classical music festival located on the stunning Italian Riviera.

US Ambassador Alex Amirkhanian

A classical music festival inaugurated in Summer 2017 by international orchestra conductor Gianluca Marcianò, a native of the town of Lerici set on the stunning bay known as the Gulf of Poets. Until 2020 the festival was known as Festival Suoni dal Golfo and then changed its name to the more easily remembered Lerici Music Festival. Over its first 7 years the festival has grown, attracting an audience of international music lovers and realising the vision of the founder in several aspects:
* to bring beautiful music to a town renowned for centuries for attracting writers, artists and composers such as Byron, Percy Bysse Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley (the castle in Lerici inspired her novel Frankenstein), D. H. Lawrence, Wagner, Virginia Woolf and many Italian writers.
* to develop the careers of new, young Italian and international soloists
* to bring international musicians to work side-by-side with emerging talent
* to bring together people of diverse nationalities, cultures and background using music as common ground
* for young orchestral musicians to reach the local residents with open rehearsals, street music and outreach. 
The aim of the Festival has, through its spirit of inclusion, become a constant in the European Festival schedule and its ultimate dream is to create a small concert hall for the town. Performances take place in squares, villas, nearby villages and Lerici town hall and new venues are annually sourced to give the best environment possible to each programme.
The Festival is a member of the prestigious European Festivals Association.

Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival's mission encompasses the mentoring of gifted international young classical musicians & singers.

The Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival was conceived by classical pianist and professor, Riccardo Cecchetti, its Artistic Director and President. Drawing on his experience as artistic and organizational consultant for classical musical initiatives in Spain and Italy, in 2016 Riccardo founded the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival in Lucca, Italy.



From Cecchetti’s passion to create an opportunity made by musicians, to support musicians of the future, and to welcome classical music lovers from all over the world, the Festival quickly established itself as one of the most important initiatives dedicated to classical music in Europe.



The Festival’s groundbreaking proposal was based on three closely interrelated elements:



- Educational programs and master classes lead by prestigious international musicians;

- Competitions for the young participants of the Master Classes Program;

- Concerts given by visiting artists and the most accomplished students enrolled in the Festival.



These elements informed the creation of a program rich in public events offered in unique locations in Lucca and Tuscany, including concerts given by prestigious guest artists and some of the most talented young musicians from all over the world, as well as lectures, meetings with artists, and exhibitions and workshops, all in keeping with the musical mission of the Festival. 



Many of the most renowned musicians, worldwide, enthusiastically embrace our project including Alfred Brendel, Bruno Giuranna, Boris Berman, Imogen Cooper, Viviane Hagner, Kim Kashkashian, Alain Meunier, Claudio Bohórquez, etc.



The primary mission of the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival is to promote and nurture talented young musicians. Winners of the Virtuoso & Belcanto competitions - all of whom are students of our courses - have launched prestigious careers. Among the many of them are, notably, the Leonkoro Quartet who won the 1st Prize in two of the most prestigious international competitions in 2022: the Concours International de Quatuor à Bordeaux and the International String Quartet Competition held at London's Wigmore Hall, earning 1st Prize and a collection of nine special awards, including interpretations, residencies, and concert prizes. The Leonkoro Quartet immediately embarked on an impressive international career.



The Festival, organized by the Association Virtuoso & Belcanto APS, has developed a profound network of international collaborators, important among which is the Populäre Konzerte Concerts Season at the Berlin Philharmonie, which has been held in Berlin for 66 years. Our collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonie brings the very finest of the young soloists selected from Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival to perform in the Philharmonie’s season's concerts, accompanied by the Sinfonie Orchester Berlin and in the world's most prestigious concert hall. Additionally, we collaborate with many other organizations throughout Europe such as the ORT (Orchestra della Toscana); Nuova Orchestra Scarlatti Napoli; and Nova Orchester Wien in Vienna: we anticipate establishing many more such collaborations. Over the years, twin festivals have already been established in Norway (Grimstad) and Spain (Osuna), and others are in the works, including in the United States.

Keeping Music Alive in our Schools @hollandsopusfdn #mhopus

The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF) was inspired by the acclaimed motion picture Mr. Holland’s Opus, the story of the profound effect a dedicated music teacher had on generations of students. The Foundation keeps music alive in our schools by donating musical instruments to under-funded music programs, and providing vital services to school districts nationwide, giving under-represented youth access to the many benefits of music education, leading them to success in school, and inspiring creativity and expression through playing music.

The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation

Transforms lives by restoring, expanding, and innovating music education in our schools.

Music education changes lives, but only those of the students it reaches.

Sometimes it doesn’t reach students because their school has no teacher or instruments. Sometimes it doesn’t reach them because they can’t see a connection between their music program and music they know and love. Music Will removes these barriers.

We help schools build music programs that are as diverse as the students they serve. Programs that are innovative, inclusive, and culturally meaningful to students . We’ve served over 1,200,000 K-12 students across the country. We know the lifelong benefits that music can bring to students. Our work is to make sure that music will.

Music Will

The largest cultural institution in Switzerland, enjoying a high reputation far beyond the country’s borders.

Each season the Zurich Opera House features numerous opera and ballet (world) premieres such as classical concerts and attractive revivals presenting casts with the best singers from all over the world.

Donations are critical to the AFZOH’s success in achieving its ambitious goals on behalf of the Zurich Opera House. This includes among others tours and guest performances in the US, young artist exchanges between Switzerland and the US and the support of young American artists in Switzerland (education program).

The AFZOH is a not-for-profit organization that raises visibility, expands appreciation and provides support for the Zurich Opera House.

Bringing music across the planet to those who need it most. Can music change the world? We believe it can.

Keys of Change is a charity formed by individuals who deeply believe that playing music can make this world a better place. Keys of Change aims to advance the lives of children and young people around the world through musical education and access to live classical music performances. The charity was set up in early 2011 by the international concert pianist Panos Karan, who works with three other trustees, all involved in music and/or education, and a growing number of committed volunteers in many countries.  ​ Over the past years, Keys of Change has brought classical music, often for the first time, to deprived or suffering audiences, in remote areas of the Amazon basin, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Kolkata and the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima area in Japan, as well as in Greece, Russia and London. Our music has brought alive emotions - fascination, happiness, tears of sadness – and generated hope and encouragement.  Wherever we go to perform, we also set up and fund musical education projects, working in conjunction with local music teachers. In Ecuador, we organise weekly guitar lessons for young people from deprived backgrounds. In Uganda and Sierra Leone, we have provided instruments and music lessons. In Fukushima and India, we have made regular visits to work with young musicians to improve their playing, and give them the opportunity to perform in joint concerts with Keys of Change musicians. In the case of Fukushima this culminated in the founding of the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta, and organising for up to 50 young Japanese musicians to travel to London, to give a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in April 2014, to Tokyo, performing at Tokyo Opera City in August 2015, and Symphony Hall, Boston, in April 2016.

Over Everything is a non-profit record label and artist empowerment organization. 

Our goal is to help push the industry towards more fair and equitable practices by supplying free music industry education for indie artists and their team, and by offering development & release support to a select group of artists. 

We don’t “sign” anyone, instead we partner with artists on a non-exclusive basis for their releases taking absolutely no earnings along the way. All funds go directly to the creative collaborators (artist/producers/writers). 

Our primary mission is to help artists create sustainable independent careers, maintaining artistic control and ownership along the way. We supply creative & artistic development, legal support, project management services, and often act as a conduit between the artist and potential partners (distributors/labels/tastemaker support/managers/bookers etc).

Over Everything

One of the most sought-after young artist programs in France 

This Paris-based opera company is dedicated to lyric repertoire from the mid-18th century to the present. Founded and directed by American conductor David Stern, it combines an ambitious young artists program and a versatile instrumental ensemble.  Opera Fuoco has been in existence since 2003 initially as a top-level period instrument ensemble and later as an internationally recognized young artist troupe.  David Stern, Katharina Wolff and the Fuoco team have developed a multi-faceted program to develop young vocal talent at a professional level.  Opera Fuoco offers a unique, custom-made experience to young singers transitioning from conservatory to professional life.  Singers are able to work with Maestro Stern, experienced vocal coaches and stage directors in various contexts ranging from masterclasses and recitals to large-scale performances with orchestra and fully staged opera productions. The repertoire spans not only several centuries but a variety of genres, from baroque to contemporary, including musical comedy and jazz.  Opera Fuoco has shaped its young artist program not as an academy but as a professional company for young singers engaged for a period of three to four years. In its 13 years of existence, Opera Fuoco's Young Artist Program has trained approximately 50 singers from 15 different countries. Our 15 current members come from 5 different countries, and candidates from the last round of auditions represented 34 nationalities. Opera Fuoco's activities are largely Paris-area based, with masterclasses held in prestigious spaces such as the Petit Palais and regular concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. The company has also enhanced its international reputation by developing regular performance partnerships with the Bachfest in Leipzig, the Beethovenfest in Bonn, the International Telemann Festival, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra as well as the Shanghai Baroque and Beijing Music Festivals in China.

We are the oldest educational institution for the performing arts in Greece, founded as a non-profit organization in 1871. 

The Athens Conservatoire (greek: Odeion Athinon) is the oldest educational institution for the performing arts in modern Greece, founded as a non-profit organization in 1871, by the "Music and Drama Association "Athens Conservatoire - 1871"
The institution played a significant role in the advancement of music studies in Greece since day one. Some of the most renowned international musical personalities have graduated from or taught at the Athens Conservatoire, including conductor Dimitiris Mitropoulos (NY Philharmonic music director from 1951 to 1958), composers Nikos Skalkottas and Mikis Theodorakis, opera diva Maria Callas, pianists Gina Bachauer and Dimitris Sgouros and many others. Today, apart from continuing to offer to its c.700 music students the full range of classical music studies from the earliest stages to the concert diploma, the Athens Conservatoire is constantly expanding into new areas: thus, the Jazz Music Department includes leading Greek jazz musicians among its teaching staff and has already gained significant momentum, the Centre of Early Music offers new insights into historically informed performance to a growing number of students in collaboration with international institutions such as the Leeds University (UK), while a new program of studies leading to a BMus (Hons) degree in classical music performance is being developed in collaboration with Goldsmiths College, University of London (UK). 

Meanwhile, the first Drama School in Greece, also founded in 1871, has had a pivotal role in the advancement of theatrical studies in the country. Today, the Drama School of the Athens Conservatoire, member of the World Theatre Education Alliance (WTEA) – Beijing, is included among the select few top professional drama schools in Greece, officially recognized by the Ministry of Culture. The school students and its staff regularly stage cutting edge performances and cooperate with leading drama institutions abroad.

The Athens Conservatoire School of Dance, although established in the ‘00s, has been constantly expanding ever since and today features one of the few state-accredited Higher Professional Dance Schools in the country, complementing perfectly the Athens Conservatoire's wide portfolio of performing arts disciplines.

The Athens Conservatoire Centre for Research and Documentation, initially founded in 2015 to rescue from oblivion and decay our institution's extensive historical archives, is currently developing a broad range of research and editorial initiatives such as the preparation and edition of the first ever extensive History of Music in Contemporary Greece. The AC Centre for Research and Documentation participates and regularly contributes to international fora like the IAML (International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres), publishes scientific papers and a magazine, and organizes various exhibitions, such as a major exhibition on the composer Iannis Xenakis in collaboration with the Greek National Museum of Contemporary Art.

Many other major Greek arts organizations such as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, the Greek National Opera, the Athens & Epidaurus International Festival, the Onassis Cultural Centre, the Athens Concert Hall (Megaron) and many others regularly invite us to participate in leading cultural events.

The Athens Conservatoire iconic building, located in the heart of Athens near the Presidential Palace and the Aristotle Lyceum, is designed by the famous Greek architect Ioannis Despotopoulos (1903-1992) who holds a prominent position within the modernist architectural movement of the 1930s and the Bauhaus School in which he actively participated. His work for the Athens Conservatoire is the only completed part of an ambitious large-scale cultural complex commissioned in 1959 by the then government for Athens. For these reasons, the building is officially designated as a "Modern Architectural Monument" by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Today, this recently renovated building is functioning as a unique and enviable cultural hub for various contemporary artistic and cultural high profile events.

WHY DONATE TO US:

Since our establishment more than 150 years ago, we offer top-class education in the fields of Music, Drama and -more recently- Dance.

However, our main goal is to create a level-playing field for all children and young artists, offering equal opportunities for all interested in performing arts to join our programs, irrespective of their background, financial situation, class, ethnicity, religion or sex. 
We strive to serve this goal via a series of endowments and donations which support many students for the realization of their musical and artistic dreams. 

Therefore, your contributions are valuable since they will greatly help to ensure the seamless continuation of our efforts and programs from one year to the next and will also enhance our capacity to offer unique life-changing opportunities to even more aspiring young artists.

Celebration Radio KAMB is a Contemporary Christian Music radio station in California's Central Valley, Foothills, & Central Coast.

KAMB's mission is to inspire people to know Jesus personally and challenge them to follow Him faithfully through the creative use of interactive media.

We have all had times, when we pulled away from God. It’s in our sinful nature to walk away from God and toward anxiety, addiction, workaholism and pride. Regardless of the struggle, it’s in those dark moments that we need a reminder of who we are and how to get back on track. 

For Angie, she turned to drugs after losing hope for her future. Deep in depression, her pain got so unbearable that she tried to hang herself. But the rope broke. In a moment of desperation and anger, Angie cried out to God. That’s when she heard KAMB Celebration Radio in the background, and realized that God was there for her all along. That encouragement moved her to get help. Today, she and her daughter listen to KAMB every morning and are reminded that God’s love is enduring, and that life can be abundant.  

Because of KAMB, Angie and her daughter have a new tomorrow; one filled with hope.
Every hour of every day for the last 52 years, people have turned to KAMB. Their reasons vary. Some tune-in because KAMB provides a safe place for their family to listen. Some tune-in to worship God and be encouraged in their walk with Him. Others are exploring their faith; in fact, 30% of listeners to Christian radio do not personally know Christ. Like Angie, some find answers and hope for their pain. 

Regardless of the reason, KAMB is there for them, inspiring them to personally know Jesus 24 hours per day. Whether late into the night or on the drive to work, KAMB is challenging people to follow God faithfully. Wherever listeners are, Celebration Radio is there as well. From Fresno to Modesto, Sonora to Santa Cruz, the KAMB FM signal broadcasts hope to a population of over 2.5 million people. For those out of range, KAMB Celebration Radio can be streamed online. And people are listening too. According to Nielsen, 92% of Americans tune into radio every week, more than any other media platform (television reaches 87%). 

We invite you to Partner with Celebration Radio KAMB to change lives!

Our top-rated Nonprofit safeguards and shares Himalayan meditation and indigenous knowledge from the ancient Sanskrit heritage.

Self Enquiry Life Fellowship is a nonprofit organization with worldwide outreach guided by the monastic wisdom of the Hansavedas Mission. The Nonprofit, with its headquarters in California, preserves indigenous knowledge from the Sanskrit heritage, including: extant literature on spiritual philosophy that is meaningful to modern inquiry; spiritual practices of Vedic antiquity that bring about peace in our communities through mindful participation; Himalayan yoga-vinyāsa and Ayurveda that promote wellness and mindfulness in daily living; and Himalayan meditation techniques of unbroken lineages which bring about mental clarity and compassion through self-empowerment, ultimately guiding the meditator to liberation.

The organization is enriched with extraordinary guidance from several Vedic monks of ancient monastic orders. It is rare for reclusive Himalayan monks, who have penanced in Himalaya, to become available to seekers or devotees and serve by disseminating precious streams of knowledge. His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, who is one such ordained Vedic monk of the Giri monastic order, is the spiritual head of the Hansavedas Mission and the spiritual founder of the Nonprofit.

We are committed to the highest level of ethics and have earned the Guidestar Platinum Seal of Transparency. See our profile: guidestar.org/profile/20-3478668. We have also been honoured as a Top-Rated Nonprofit for several years in a row on GreatNonprofits.org.

Our mission is to set new goals and remove limits on creativity and freedom of expression.

We view culture as a powerful tool for promoting sustainability values. We have successfully organized several projects featuring classical music, theater, dance, and film screenings.

MY Arts is also dedicated to fostering and connecting young creative talent on a national and international level.

National human services organization. Our mission is to foster stability and resiliency, and provide a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan.

Founded in 1882, we serve all professionals—and not just actors—in film, theater, television, music, opera, radio and dance through programs that address our community's unique and essential needs.

Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.

As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, we directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via our online resources. Our programs are wide in scope, responsive in nature and produce significant results.

We are a world-class space where culture, education, and the arts are the driving force behind social transformation

We are a space where culture, education, and the arts are the main driving force behind social transformation, in support of our communities. 
**Our Mission**
To create meaningful artistic experiences and enable children and young people to embrace the spirit of excellence that the arts and their foundational values make possible.
When individuals and communities gain access to the arts, cultural diversity is enriched, and mutual understanding is promoted. This access not only reduces cultural gaps but also fosters critical thinking, empathy, and imagination, strengthening creativity as an essential skill for human and collective development.

Ensuring that the arts are accessible requires eliminating physical and economic barriers, encouraging comprehensive artistic education, and promoting diversity in the creation and dissemination of the arts. By doing so, we not only enrich people's lives but also build a more just, resilient, healthy, and prosperous society.
