Instrument Lending Program (ILP) Program
The Instrument Lending Program provides a student, who could not otherwise afford an instrument, the opportunity to learn to play an instrument. In conjunction with school administration, instructors, and staff, MMFC can loan instruments to students for multiple years.
How does the program work?
Instruments are donated by the community. Repairable instruments are fixed for lending to students.
Eligible students must:
Attend a public or charter school that is currently participating in the ILP program.
Qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.
Be enrolled in band or orchestra.
Be referred by their music teacher.
Instruments in the Attic (IIA) Donation Program
Do you have an instrument at home that you are no longer using? Give an invaluable gift today and donate your new or gently used instruments to the Instruments in the Attic (IIA) program and recycle the love of music. Contact MMFC– at (225) 484-2210 or musicmattersforcaleb@yahoo.com – to arrange a time for you to drop them off or for us to pick them up. Upon pick-up or delivery, you fill out a short donation form and leave knowing that you have just helped to transform the life of a child.
You will also receive a letter from MMFC acknowledging your gift. This letter serves as a donation receipt for income tax purposes.
Don’t have an instrument to donate? That’s OK, financial gifts are also critically needed in order to repair and maintain the donated instruments.
