Out of 50 states, Arizona is currently dead last in educational funding. Historically Arts programs are the first to get cut when times are tough.
Our mission is to provide
Every Child Access to Music Education. We fulfill our mission in 3 unique ways:
1.) Support In-School Music Programs – We donate musical instruments to pre-established music programs through our Instrument Drive efforts. Throughout 2010 all 57 Phoenix Fire Stations are serving as donation sites for our
Instrument Drives®.
2.) Create After-School Music Programs – Ear Candy launches after-school music programs where children are already going, but where no music program is being offered. We work closely with community partners like The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix.
3.) Beyond the Classroom – In an effort to provide a holistic approach to music education, we provide children with unique opportunities like touring a radio station, visiting a major artist’s sound check and concert, or attending a guitar making workshop. We have received support from a variety of
Major Recording Artists including: Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Chick Corea, Nickelback and many others.
The
Goal of EAR CANDY is to:
CREATE CULTURALLY ENLIGHTENED MEMBERS OF SOCIETY! In 2010, we impact
over 10,000 youth in the Phoenix area while expanding our sustainable community driven model in other areas of the country! Will you join us in providing opportunities for thousands more?
There are many ways to donate to
EAR CANDY, below are several options we encourage you explore.
Last year we only spent
11% of our funds raised on administration costs, meaning your donation dollar goes a long way when you give to our mission. We strive to increase this number every year while expanding throughout Arizona and the Southwest. It costs around
$12 to impact a child with our Instrument Drive efforts.
Want to donate Monthly or Quarterly?We have an account with Raise It Now that helps us collect much needed donations throughout the year. Learn more about ongoing donations
