Funding for music technology is
​limited only by your imagination!

BOE Funding

Aside from annual budget line items, potential funds for music technology may be hidden in the IT department, textbook replacement, and equipment budgets. If building a new school, music technology should be included in the capital outlay for the school.

Grant Writing

The cardinal rule of grant writing is to find the imperative--the one thing about your project that any reasonable person would agree with.

Foundations

PTAs, local education foundations and corporations like Target sponsor grants to schools for innovative programs. NAMM, Fender, the Grammy Foundation, and companies like Ableton provide funding as well as free equipment and software to schools.

Crowdsourcing

Many schools have great success stories with crowdfunding. "Buy a Key" and "Buy a Note" programs have funded everything from electronic keyboards to mixing boards. Sometimes, private donors come forward and make dreams come true.
