About the Committee

Founded by Noel Paul Stookey (of the 60’s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary) and his daughter, Liz, Music to Life draws from a rich legacy of music for social change. What began as an exploration of the question “how can music more strategically address injustice?” has become a movement of musicians across the country going beyond benefit concerts to create measurable impact in their communities.

GIA is pleased to announce four new members to the Support for Individual Artists (SfIA) Committee.

Community Foundations can open doors for new ways to support artists and arts organizations.  Donor advised funds (DAFs), collaborations with private foundations, advocacy and lobbying are all aspects that can bring more resources to the field.
