Programs
Music Grants
Most of our efforts pertaining to the music program involve studying new approaches and developing innovative ways to implement them.
We welcome applications from individuals ages 4-25 who have an inherent talent and gift in the music field but do not have the resources to obtain an instrument and lessons to take them to the next level.
A. Music lessons
B. Musical instrument (drums/percussion, guitar, trumpet, saxophone, keys, violin, and other instruments)
C. Vocal lessons
All grants subject to availability and the selection process.
Education
We see every challenge as an opportunity, and this initiative helps us ensure that our partners are better prepared to manage the unique situations they find themselves in. We are invested in an innovative approach that empowers our community and delivers the support they need when they need it.

Community Outreach

Instrument of Hope Event-Annual Celebration
The foundation will host an annual event on or around August 10th every year. This will be a day to remember the legacy of Darryn J Benjamin. The two-hour event will feature an evening of worship with various Christian artists and an opportunity for some of our music grant recipients to participate alongside.
