Music For Everyone
Our Mission
Play it Forward Music Foundation is a nonprofit arts organization whose mission is to foster connection through music. We provide programming, instruments, lessons, and performance opportunities to people with limited access. We believe music has the power to transform lives both internally and collectively as well as enrich our community.
Who We Are
Play It Forward Music Foundation (PIFMF) was created in 2016 with a vision that music instruction and instruments be available to everyone in our community who do not have either access or financial resources. Not only through the study of music, but also the creation of music, PIFMF empowers our participants and musicians young and old, with a love of learning, the creative process, and music that will last a lifetime. PIFMF believes in supporting the whole musician, from learner to teacher to professional. By offering music teachers a living wage, and supporting active musicians in their projects, we ensure music is accessible to all.
Equity Statement
We believe that music is a universal language that has the power to unite people from all walks of life. As an organization that provides free access to musical instruments and music lessons to disadvantaged children and adults, we are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. We recognize the importance of celebrating differences and honoring each individual’s unique background and experiences. By promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, we hope to empower our students and foster a community that is built on compassion, understanding, and acceptance.
