Welcome!
The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation
"I would like to thank you not just for donating the instruments, but donating something that has changed my life and has filled me with motivation and self confidence... so thank you a lot."
- Student, New Orleans, LA
"The instruments that the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation provides allows for our students' musical enrichment. Existing in a historically under privileged community, a life of music performance would otherwise be impossible for many of them. Our parents and children thank you."
- Teacher, San Fernando, CA
The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation keeps music alive in our schools and communities by donating musical instruments to under-funded music programs, which gives youngsters the many benefits of music education, helping them to be better students and inspiring creativity and expression through playing music.
Impact of the Program
Every year, an average of 10,000 young people across the country benefit from The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. Students who can't afford to rent an instrument and kids on waiting lists are given an opportunity to play quality instruments which improves their experience and inspires them to accomplish more and more. A grant from the Foundation elevates the music program and elicits more support and demand for music education for all students. Schools have fewer discipline problems, higher attendance and have more kids graduate when they are involved in a music program. Kids learn a skill and positive behaviors that will last well into their lives.
