Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Our primary challenge is keeping up with demand for music instruments. We accept instrument donations, repair them, and distribute them to music programs. We also 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 music programs throughout the United States. In our history, we have also sent music instruments to another 35 countries throughout the world. To assist in keeping up with the demand for our services we are are recruiting partners and volunteers throughout the United States to support us in our mission of providing quality music instruments to underserved youth. We want to be able to provide a music instrument to any child in a music program who does not have the financial means to participate.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

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.

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, as well as create other streams of income that will allow us to reach our maximum potential and outreach.

Hungry for Music is committed to bringing quality music instruments to underserved youth.

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.

We have distributed almost 23,000 music instruments to school, after-school, church, and community music programs in all 50 states and 35 countries in our 30-year history, annually increasing the number of music instruments we donate. Over the last several years we have averaged over 2,000. Our goal in 2024 is 5,000.
