MUSIC TEACHERS OF EXCELLENCE SPONSORS

Sponsor A Music Teacher of Excellence

Music Teachers of Excellence (MToE) was launched in 2016 to celebrate music teachers exemplifying excellence in the field. Each year, the CMA Foundation awards 30 public school music teachers a $5,000 grant, with half going to enhance their classrooms and the other half to enhance their personal lives. They are invited to Nashville for a red-carpet event where they are treated like the stars that they are.

With 94% of public school teachers in the U.S. spending their own money on classroom supplies, teachers need our help now more than ever. Your tax-deductible donation will sponsor one of the $5,000 stipends given to each of our honorees, making a significant impact on both their personal and professional needs. We look forward to celebrating the impact your generosity has on our recipients.
