OBJECTIVES:
The sponsor supports projects primarily in three areas of focus:
Music–The sponsor seeks to foster the expansion of musical ideas by supporting new projects which promote original programming and new performers.
Education–The sponsor seeks to promote living environments in which learning is a natural activity and a habit, rather than a periodic task. The Foundation values critical and investigative thinking, and supports projects which address class disparities in educational access.
Grassroots Organizing–The sponsor encourages individuals and grassroots groups to develop and enact activist strategies for addressing institutional injustices, and for envisioning and building a reasoned, just society.
