Support

There are a variety of ways to support the future of the Songbook Academy®, which has now impacted aspiring young singers from across the country for over ten years.  This program would not be possible without the generous support of our community partners, sponsors, Mentor Champions and more.

 

Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation Mentor Champions

The Songbook Academy begins its second decade with a focus on expanding program awareness and building diversity among participants. To aid this effort, Mentor Champions have stepped up to provide funds to bolster marketing efforts, reach more educators, and promote scholarship opportunities for students of need. Their generosity makes the transformative Songbook Academy available to talented students who otherwise may not have had the chance to attend.
