SCHOOL SUPPORT
"Music Makes a Difference" Grant Program Nashville Singers started a new program in 2011 to help support music education in our schools and the community. The Music Makes a Difference grant program is designed to provide financial assistance to school music programs serving “at risk” youth. What's new this year? Increased access to funding - Last year, this grant funding was limited to Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) in Davidson County. In 2012, this grant funding will be available to any school or independent music program in Middle Tennessee. Increased funding - Last year we were able to fund one $500 grant. Due to our success in 2011, in 2012 we will be offering two $500 grants. How Do I apply?
