We Are Glad You Are Here!
Here at Darryn J Benjamin Foundation, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Our decision-making is supported by a comprehensive process with the help of a highly talented and dedicated team. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits. The Darryn J Benjamin Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating greater access to musical instruments.
Darryn J Benjamin Foundation has collected several instruments since 2019, through purchases and generous donations from individuals and corporate collaborators and has awarded them to children and youth in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Nowata, Coweta, and Muskogee. Our program has even reached individuals and been able to bless outside of Oklahoma in Texas, Kansas, and even internationally as far as the Asian continent. Our last two Instrument of Hope drive for Christmas was a tremendous success.
Celebrating Christmas Instrument of Hope Giveaway 2024 - The Instrument of Hope Annual Giveaway aims to provide musical instruments to those who may not have access otherwise, fostering a love for music and nurturing future musicians. Since 2019, we have been able to spread joy through the power of music, thanks to the generous donations and support from our community.
Darryn J Benjamin Foundation is beginning to make strides in our community. Join us as we partner with local organizations and public events for outreach and DJB Impact Days!
