The MusicLink Foundation is a non-profit organization that links promising students in need with professional music teachers who volunteer
to teach on partial to full scholarship for as long as these students wish to learn. The MusicLink Foundation assists in the purchase and repair of instruments,
moving costs for donated pianos, camp scholarships for our students, and coordination and expansion of programs into new communities across the country.

Foundation funding relies on contributions from the public, in-kind instrument donations from business partners and grants.
The MusicLink Foundation has served over 7,600 students in all 50 states with teachers donating over 564,000 hours of instruction,
equivalent to over $15.8 million of in-kind service to the program.

After six successful years spreading the program throughout Virginia, MusicLink expanded to the national level in 1998 through support
from the Music Teachers National Association Foundation. In September, 2001, the program was restructured into the MusicLink Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization, to provide more freedom to seek funding for the specific needs of the program and expand possibilities beyond a single professional music organization.
