The mission of the Betty Scalice Foundation focuses on promoting music appreciation and education. They aim to support and enhance community engagement through music by funding programs that offer musical performances and education, particularly targeting youth and schools. Their focus includes making musical experiences accessible to a wider audience, especially in educational settings, by supporting the provision of low-cost musical instruments and equipment for teaching music.
The grant provided by the Betty Scalice Foundation seeks to support a variety of programs aimed at promoting music appreciation and education across communities. Eligible programs for funding include community concerts, youth musical performances, provision of low-cost classroom musical instruments, classroom programs that incorporate music and performances, low-cost equipment for teaching choral music, and other related programs that further music appreciation. The Foundation encourages applications from programs that make music more accessible, particularly to young audiences and schools, thereby fostering a deeper engagement with music as an educational tool and a source of community joy. Organizations interested in applying for funding can submit one application per year, and the grant deadline operates on a rolling basis through September.
