Why Give?
Music has the power to change lives! We believe every child deserves access to life-changing music education, which is why Soundscapes’ daily music program is free for all participants. You make our program possible with your generous support.
For individual gifts of at least $500 and corporate gifts of at least $616, we are pleased to offer Neighborhood Assistance Program state tax credits worth 65% of your donation. NAP tax credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please call or email to confirm availability before making your gift.
Beyond direct donations via check, cash, or credit card, Soundscapes is also more than happy to accept gifts of stocks, grants from donor advised funds, required minimum distributions from retirement accounts, and many other forms of support. Your generosity is always appreciated!
Support the Yaffa Howell Music Fund
We created a Music Fund in honor of Yaffa, our first student to graduate and go on to do music professionally. The funds will help to make sure students we have now and in the future can get access to the professional level instruments and other supplies to pursue their musical aspirations in college and beyond.
Join the Encore Club
Many donors find they can make a bigger impact through monthly giving. If you’re interested in supporting our student musicians all year, you’ll want to join our new Encore Club.
Instrument Donation
Soundscapes is always pleased to accept instrument donations. We are in need of half size to full size string instruments (including basses!) and wind, brass and percussion instruments. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pianos at this time. If you are interested in donating an instrument, please email contact@soundscapeshr.org or call us at (757) 273-6178.
If you have other items you think might be useful to our program, administrative office, or at a special event, please email contact@soundscapeshr.org or call us at (757) 273-6178.
Volunteer with Soundscapes
We provide volunteer opportunities to suit your needs, whether you are looking for a regular commitment to work with the students during weekday afternoons, a one-time volunteer opportunity during an event, or something in between. Let us know your interests and availability, and we will be glad to find a way for you to get involved!
