MacPhail’s Corporate and Foundation Partners –
Working Together to Transform Lives and Enrich Our Community
For nearly 100 years, MacPhail Center for Music has been at the forefront of music education and enrichment serving as a national leader among community music schools. We are proud to have committed corporate and foundation supporters who believe strongly in MacPhail’s mission. They work in partnership with us to provide financial aid scholarships, music therapy programs, early childhood arts curriculum, summer camp experiences, and outreach partnerships with local schools and organizations serving at-risk youth.
If you know of a company or foundation that is interested in transforming lives and communities through music or would like to learn more about underwriting or sponsoring MacPhail’s exciting programs and events, please contact the Development Office at 612-767-5309 or email Meg Nodzon.
Music education engages and enriches our community in so many ways. Research has shown that music education literally has the ability to transform lives. There are direct correlations between musical training and increased language, reasoning, spatial intelligence, creativity, problem solving, teamwork, discipline and empathy among other benefits. These are vital skills that children take into adulthood and into their workplace and community.
We are proud to recognize acknowledge our 2005 – 2006 corporate/foundation donors. Join these important supporters by making a gift to MacPhail and to your community today!
