RESOURCES & RESEARCH
As the needs of communities evolve throughout the U.S., so do the resources needed to deliver music solutions. The Foundation is in a unique position to help cultivate generosity, growing the philanthropic resources available to better meet the needs of the music and arts sector.
For over a decade, the CMA Foundation has been an advocate for music and arts education throughout the country. During that time, we have invested more than $30 million to support our mission, $18 million of which has been in Tennessee. At the heart of our investment strategy is our dedication to understanding both the issues and the opportunities that result in all students having equitable access to high-quality, sequential instruction in the arts. We invite you to learn more about our study, “Face the Music: A Case Study for Expanding Music and Arts Education in Schools”.
