Huge shoutout to @PNCBank for their generous $25,000 grant towards our Biz Pod program. This funding will uplift black youth as they journey from incarceration to entrepreneurship in the local creative economy. Thank you PNC!!! 🎉 #creativeyouthdevelopment

Enjoyed visiting with @DavidsHarpFound this week to share my story and discuss challenges and potential solutions for youth in D4. Our youth are so inspiring and deserve our investment.
Thank you for this rich discussion and for having me!

We are proud to announce this year’s finalists for the 2021 Adolf Busch Award: @BeyondthebarsPA, @DavidsHarpFound, @MusicHavenCT, @MOTIinc and @UpBeatNYC.
We are truly humbled by the number of organizations devoted to promoting social good through music.
Check out our very own student-turned-instructor, David Higareda. David was quoted in an article from @InsidePhilanthr for his work with @TheLewisPrize!!!
IP’s Mike Scutari recently observed the Lewis Prize for Music’s participatory grantmaking process. He reports on the experience and checks in with panelists and leadership on how arts funders can best democratize their grantmaking. bit.ly/38E0HJK
