Who We Are
What we do makes us different
Inspired by a life-changing event, Ellis Music Foundation was Founded in 2019 in Blackshear, Ga.
The aim of our charity is to help provided student's entering Middle School who would like to learn music, but through no fault of there own are not going to be in a position to purchase an instrument.
Music charities that are available to students at this time have a down side one way or an other.
Some Charities will supply a student a free instrument, but any repairs become the student's, or the school's responsibility. Other Charities provide instruments to the school directly, meaning once the student leaves Middle School to go to High School they have to give the instrument back and hope the High School also has a similar program, and again the school or band program has to pay for any repairs.
​
This is what makes us different
​
What we do is loan the student the instrument for free when they come in to 6th grade, and as long as they stay within the band program that instrument will also be repaired free of charge by us, where possible or replaced with another until such time the student either no longer participates in band or graduates from High School, to which then the instrument will be taken back and given to the next student in line.
