The Crescendo Foundation is a Not For Profit Corporation initially formed by leadership of the New Jersey Music Educators Association, who serves as the registered agent. The Association’s mission includes the advancement of music instruction in New Jersey’s educational institutions at all levels that provide in-service and enrichment opportunities for music educators, as well as sponsoring various festivals and All-State performing groups for K-12 students. As a result, the Foundation’s goal is to provide financial support to underserved students and communities to create access to the aforementioned festivals and performing groups. In this first phase of giv- ing, funds will go to a scholarship model geared towards students aspiring to participate in All-State ensembles.


The Scholarship Framework Through data assessment, it has been identified that All-State ensemble participation is not reflective of


statewide total population demographics when comparing race and socio-economic status. The scholarship op- portunities from the Crescendo Foundation gifts will allow students to apply for financial support to assist with any or all of the fees associated with participation including: • Audition Fee - $25 • Participation Fee - $35 • Housing - $315 As part of the All-State experience and upon acceptance, students are housed together throughout the


performance weekend. Scholarship opportunities would be available to cover the entire cost of this invaluable experience. In subsidizing these costs for qualified students and easing the burden of financial access, it is the hope of the Foundation that our All-State programming will become more inclusive, diverse and equitable.


We Need Your Help We acknowledge that the Foundation’s ability to realize the plans outlined in the Scholarship program will re-


quire the generous support of the community. The initial phase of the program will require $50,000 which aims to assist 150 students over the course of the next three years in the areas of All-State Orchestra, Choir, Band and Jazz. All-State ensembles contribute to a total of 6 concerts annually in both Atlantic City and Newark. The vi- sion for the Foundation is to eventually go beyond the scope of All-State ensembles to positively support several aspects of music education programming both at the State and Region levels, making this an important first step. All gifts are tax deductible and there are many ways and opportunities to support this important effort. We


thank you in advance for your support of our state’s students and providing transformative experiences outside of their school programs.
