Music is a gift whose value is magnified most in the giving. Musicians share their talents with us, and in passing them on create something larger that brings people together in a way nothing else has the power to do.

In 1989, The Recording Academy® established the GRAMMY Foundation® to sustain music and its makers — past, present and future — as a force in all of our lives.

The GRAMMY Foundation influences the lives of young people by opening the windows of opportunity that music can provide for their futures. We also lead the efforts to ensure that the contributions made by our musical icons live on in our cultural heritage.

MISSION The GRAMMY Foundation was established in 1989 to cultivate Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus and their the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the signed guitar that was sold at a GRAMMY contribution of recorded music to American culture — from Charity Online Auctions. the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals. OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Under the banner of GRAMMY in the Schools®, the GRAMMY Foundation produces and supports music education programs for high schools students across the country throughout the year. The GRAMMY Foundation’s Web site — www. grammyintheschools.com — provides comprehensive information about careers in the music industry and applications for GRAMMY in the Schools programs.

GRAMMY® Career Day is held on university campuses across the country throughout the year. It provides students with insight into careers in music through daylong conferences offering workshops with artists and industry professionals.

2009 GRAMMY Camp Selectees & Tracks

The GRAMMY Foundation’s preservation and advancement initiatives foster dialogue about the compelling issues facing the music industry, support projects that increase the understanding of music and its role in society and raise public awareness of the urgent need to preserve our nation’s recorded sound legacy.

The Grant Program, with funding generously provided by The Recording Academy, awards grants annually to organizations and individuals in two categories: scientific research studies that advance our knowledge of the impact of music on the human condition, and archiving projects that implement or plan the preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations. The Grant Program is seeing more and better qualified applicants each year and this results in funding outstanding, meaningful, and diverse projects. In a year that saw a 75 percent decrease in available funds, 11 exceptional projects were funded.
