APPLICATIONS ARE BY INVITATION ONLY
The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation donates musical instruments to schools nationwide with a focus on low-income communities. In collaboration with committed school districts, the Foundation’s investments are strategically placed as part of a K–12 district-wide plan to achieve the following outcomes:
Economically disadvantaged students gain access to their school’s music program
Instrument and mouthpiece sharing is eliminated, resulting in added instruction and practice time for students
Aged instruments are replaced resulting in enhanced student engagement, learning and progression
Sequential, quality K–12 music education programs are sustained
Community engagement is increased
Music student’s academic achievement, school attendance, graduation rates are increased and suspensions are reduced, compared to the total school population
Schools that meet the following guidelines are eligible for consideration of a grant as part of The Foundation’s strategic district-wide plan:
School must serve a minimum of 65% economically disadvantaged students
School must have an established instrumental music program that is offered during the regular school day; all types of instrumental programs qualify (i.e. band, strings, mariachi, guitar labs, keyboard labs, jazz band, modern band, etc.)
School must have an instrumental music teacher that has completed at least two consecutive years teaching at the applying school
School must have an existing inventory of instruments
