It's a 100% Bonus Matching Day This Wednesday Morning!

Dear Friends,

Would you like to donate to GITC and get a 100% match on Wednesday starting at 6 am, pacific? GlobalGiving.org is offering 100% matches for donations from $100 and $1000 to any of our campaigns.

GlobalGiving.org has $100,000 in matching funds to give away, and those will go fast. This is why giving early is so important. They are matching funds in any of these campaigns below, up to a total of $2000 in matching dollars per campaign.

We are also able to allocate internal matching funds to either of the campaigns bringing GITC to classrooms around the U.S. thanks to an anonymous donor. So if you are interested in contributing a smaller amount we can still match you, while GlobalGiving can also match larger gifts. This is such a fortuitous opportunity to make a bigger impact, and we truly need and appreciate your support. Here are the campaigns, and the first two are the ones where we can provide a match in additional to anything eligible for matching from GlobalGiving.org.

Thank you for contributing this cause that is making a very real and immediate musical difference for children and educators from coast to coast!

​CAMPAIGN 1:
Infuse U.S. Classrooms with Music for Learning!
This is a "Parent" Project with a large, $60,000 goal
It will bring training, coaching, and resources to teachers who are ready now to make a real difference for students. From Arizona to Florida, Oregon to New York, and places in between! Your gift will be matched to infuse classrooms & start free after school music clubs!

CAMPAIGN 2:
Infuse Learning with Music in PreK-8 Classrooms!
This is a microproject that belongs to the above campaign. It can be matched, too. Like the other, it will bring free music training to deserving teachers and their students in underserved schools around the U.S. Many have gone it alone, training online from small towns to sprawling districts, learning to sing, play, and teach everything through music. Your support will help them grow free, inclusive programs in their communities, creating better learning through music for children in need. Your gift funds planning, implementation, instruments and 1-on-1 coaching through 2025!

CAMPAIGN 3:
Exceptional Learners Deserve Music, Too!
This campaign focuses on students who receive
special education services. They have often been excluded from learning to make music at school. Isolated by physical, medical, cognitive, psychological, or behavioral conditions, so many have been left out. But these children benefit from making music in deep and life-changing ways! Please join us to bring down barriers to music participation through training special ed teachers & support staff to play, sing, teach, & lead adaptive music with their exceptional students everyday!

CAMPAIGN 4:
Fund Musical Resilience for At-Risk Youth!
This campaign will give teens in economically & culturally
marginalized communities the chance to learn to make music and play guitar in a restorative after-school program with their peers. Taught by dedicated
GITC guitar instructors, these clubs doubled in number and size in 2023. Each serious student receives a beautiful new guitar to keep. Although districts fund
extended learning, they can't purchase guitars. Your donation to GITC gives each worthy teen access, opportunity, care, and a musical future! ​
