The Make
A Noise Foundation, a nonprofit charitable 501(c)3 organization, was
founded by Grammy Award-winning musician Steve Vai and Richard Pike.
The purpose of the Make A Noise Foundation is to provide musical instruments,
music education, and musical culture to young musicians who cannot afford
to do these things for themselves. The Make A Noise Foundation will
accept contributions of funds, musical instruments and accessories,
donations of music lessons or tickets to events, recorded music such
as compact discs and cassettes, instructional recordings, sheet music
and other music-related education materials, etc., and will disburse
these contributions to schools and/or young musicians who will most
greatly benefit from them, and who fall within our charitable purpose.
Monies raised by the MANF will go to further these purposes and eventually
other charitable endeavors such as setting up scholarships for music
schools, helping keep music programs in schools where budgets are being
cut, etc. Monies will also be distributed to similar established charities
such as NARAS' MUSICARES,
and VH1s Save
The Music. News of
special Make A Noise Foundation events will be posted in the News &
Events section (linked above). |
