Your gift recognizes music educators and helps students and professionals grow their careers
Fund Awards & Scholarships
Your donation goes directly to the NAMM Foundation's awards and scholarships. These programs honor music educators, send students to The NAMM Show, and support professional development across the music industry. Every dollar helps recognize talent and open doors to careers in music.
"The NAMM Show was everything that I hoped and dreamed it would be. The whole convention center was full of cutting-edge gear, and NAMM put on some of the best keynotes and summits I have ever heard. The past week has no doubt been the
experience of a lifetime."
