The Mockingbird Foundation is dedicated to funding music education for children, focusing on competitive grants, emergency-related grants, and tour-related grants. It aims to support music education that directly engages students, serves underserved niches, and explores unconventional forms of instruction and musical improvisation. The foundation emphasizes the importance of music for its own sake, rather than for tangential benefits, and supports projects that reach children in diverse and unusual settings.
The Mockingbird Foundation Grants program seeks to improve music education for children, particularly through projects that promote creative expression in instrumentation, vocalization, composition, or improvisation, and those associated with diverse or unusual musical styles. The program values education that includes the provision of instruments, learning materials, and support for learning spaces, with a strong focus on fostering self-esteem and free expression. It primarily serves children under eighteen but may consider projects benefiting a broader population. The foundation has a special interest in supporting disenfranchised groups and programs outside traditional school settings, aiming to reach children in shelters, hospitals, prisons, and other isolated or underserved communities.
