When Lucie Jenny MacCarthy was a 12-year immigrant growing up in Chicago, someone took the time to teach her how to play a musical instrument. But she learned more than just how to play a musical instrument. She learned self-discipline and gained self-esteem from her musical experience.
Through Lucy's endowment gift, we are able to provide opportunities for children to enjoy the same tangible and intangible benefits of learning music that she did.
Research shows that early music training increases a child's ability to accept new concepts and better prepares them to enter school.
Our Music Grants support summer music camps and projects throughout the year that give elementary, middle and high school students opportunities to discover their musical talents.
