The Lincoln Park Music Center Foundation is a Philanthropic Leader, recognized for inspiring and enhancing musical  opportunities and experiences for students worldwide.

By donating musical instruments and equipment to Chicago Public Schools  and Non Profit Organizations aligned with our mission, we introduce the world of music to a multitude of students, initiate students into the study of music, and expand their musical horizons.

Our student-managed organization (consisting of alumni and current student board members) is responsible for awarding philanthropic grants.

With an endowment of $1 million and no operating budget, we award at least $50,000 in grants annually.

Initial rigorous research, follow up evaluations, and reporting requirements, enable us to both identify prospective grantees and  ensure that our beneficiaries are executing our core values:

- to make a difference in the musical lives of the children of the world

- to create a community that works together to share the beauty of music
