Investing in the Future of Music Education

Behind every student discovering their voice, every music educator inspiring a classroom, and every community strengthened through music is a network of people, programs, and opportunities that make music education possible.

NAfME’s funding priorities are grounded in the cornerstones of our Strategic Plan: Advocacy & Public Policy, Professional Learning & Growth, and Music Research & Music Teacher Education, with Equity in Music Education at the center of our work.

These priorities reflect both the immediate needs of music educators and the long-term investments necessary to strengthen the profession, expand access, and ensure music remains an essential part of every student’s education.

Your generosity helps turn these strategic commitments into meaningful, lasting impact.

We Strengthen Music Education from the Classroom to Capitol Hill
