Music. Education. Inspiration.
DW Music Foundation is Taking a Pause
After more than five years of inspiring connections between music and philanthropy, the DW Music Foundation will take a temporary pause beginning January 1, 2026, to thoughtfully evaluate our next chapter and philanthropic direction.
We’re proud of the meaningful programs and partnerships we’ve built—supporting music education, empowering artists, and helping underserved communities in need. As we look to the future, this pause will allow us to reflect on our impact and explore how we can best continue using the power of music to make a difference.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our donors, artists, nonprofit partners, and friends for their continued belief in our mission. Your support has made everything possible, and we look forward to sharing updates in the summer of 2026 when our next steps are defined.
