Program Support
Music Teachers are unsung heroes.
They spark creativity, learning, and confidence in students, yet often face limited resources, budgets, and equipment.
With support from donors, companies, foundations, and Tunes Ambassadors, we help music teachers put music within reach for more students. We have positively impacted 183 music programs nationwide —and counting. Help us amplify their critical work in your community.
Music Teacher Grants
Fueling Creativity in Every Classroom
Music teachers know their students and communities best—and our grants put funding directly into their hands.
Our flexible grants, ranging from $500 – $2,500, support the unique needs of each program. Teachers can use funding for experiential field trips, updated songbooks, replacement instruments, student-led events, and more.
Featured Opportunity: TinkerTar Grants
Bring music to life in the classroom with TinkerTar, an innovative one-string guitar designed for young learners. Through our Music Teacher Grants, educators can request classroom sets of TinkerTars and accompanying curriculum resources to make music education more accessible, engaging, and fun.

New Instrument Donations
Bring the Joy of Music to Students
For as little as $5,000, our new instrument donations can transform an entire music program, creating lasting impact for students for years to come.
We partner directly with music teachers to tailor each instrument donation to the unique needs of their programs—whether it’s a fleet of guitars, a full set of percussion instruments, or a brand-new stand-up bass.
