The Frank and Lydia Bergen Foundation aims to continue Charlotte V. Bergen's legacy of promoting classical music and musical education. It does this by awarding grants to support musical performing arts and music education programs.
The grant program underscores a commitment to the enrichment of arts, culture, and humanities, with a specific emphasis on arts education. It focuses on two primary areas: music education and orchestral performances/concerts. These pillars are designed to foster an appreciation for fine music, echoing the foundation's devotion to traditional music and education.
