HUNGRY FOR MUSIC INC
"Providing the gift of music to underserved children with a hunger to play."
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our primary challenge is keeping up with demand for music instruments. We accept instrument donations, repair them, and distribute. Also, we purchase new instruments. We serve school and after-school music programs and support social service professionals whose clients would benefit from a music instrument. We primarily support programs throughout the United States. In our history, we have also sent music instruments to another 30 countries throughout the world. To assist in keeping up with the demand for our services we are setting up Hungry for Music chapters in 60 cities. We will be setting up these chapters in 2019-20. We will also be working on increasing our fundraising to purchase new music instruments.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our vision for the future is to connect with other music communities in cities across the United States and beyond to establish a stream of music instruments that will insure that any child that wants to learn will have an opportunity with an instrument of their very own.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Establishing satellite offices in cities across the United States by connecting with all those who share our vision of providing music instruments for all children who want to play, but lack the means.
Over the years, we have established a very cost effective way of collecting, repairing, and distributing instruments. We have a system that can be replicated anywhere.
To facilitate our growth, it is now time for us to to seek foundation and corporate support so we can reach our maximum potential and outreach.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
A passionate committed leader, Jeff Campbell, who founded Hungry for Music in 1994 and has worked tirelessly for the cause, making many personal sacrifices to continue to grow Hungry for Music's outreach.
A dedicated staff of volunteers and supporters who handle all the aspects of the instrument donation process from picking up, repairing, and delivering.
A highly professional admin staff and a software system that manages all aspects of organizations outreach.
A committed Board of Directors who have experience fundraising.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have distributed almost 13,,000 instrument to school, after-school, church, and community music programs in 49 states and 30 countries.
