Its first initiative is a <strong>$3 million<\/strong> North Carolina pilot that will test programs for possible use in school systems nationwide.<\/p>\n<h2>Funding and participating districts<\/h2>\n<p>The pilot combines a <strong>$2 million<\/strong> grant from the <strong>Tullman Family Office<\/strong> with <strong>$1 million<\/strong> from the <strong>Enlight Foundation<\/strong>. It will serve eight school districts across rural, suburban and urban communities.<\/p>\n<p>Seven participating districts have been named:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buncombe County Schools<\/li>\n<li>Newton-Conover City Schools<\/li>\n<li>Winston-Salem\/Forsyth County Schools<\/li>\n<li>Chatham County Schools<\/li>\n<li>Cumberland County Schools<\/li>\n<li>Pitt County Schools<\/li>\n<li>Wayne County Public Schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The eighth district will be named later. The coalition said it chose North Carolina because the state&#8217;s districts span varied communities and economic conditions, providing settings in which to test approaches for other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Coalition members and state partners<\/h2>\n<p>The coalition&#8217;s members include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CMA Foundation<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/grammymuseum.org\/\">GRAMMY Museum<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Recording Academy<\/li>\n<li>Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame Foundation<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nammfoundation.org\/\">NAMM Foundation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mhopus.org\/\">Mr. Holland\u2019s Opus Foundation<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Save The Music<\/li>\n<li>Music Will<\/li>\n<li>D\u2019Addario Foundation<\/li>\n<li>National Association for Music Education<\/li>\n<li>Let Music Fill My World<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Support within the state comes from the North Carolina Arts Council, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, Arts North Carolina and North Carolina Music Educators Association.<\/p>\n<h2>Grantmaking and assessment<\/h2>\n<p>Coalition leaders will gather in North Carolina on <strong>October 15 and October 16<\/strong> to start the grantmaking process alongside school districts, educators and state partners. Data and assessments from Mr. Holland\u2019s Opus Foundation will guide decisions about needs and the allocation of funding and other resources.<\/p>\n<p>Research cited by the coalition associates greater access to arts education with fewer disciplinary incidents, increased student engagement and improvements in writing, empathy and college aspirations.<\/p>\n<h2>Funders explain their priorities<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Cayley Tull<\/strong>, President of the Tullman Family Office, connected the initiative to the educational needs of young people as artificial intelligence (AI) changes work and daily life.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs AI reshapes how we live and work, we need to rethink what young people require from their education,\u201d said Tull. \u201cOur future leaders need opportunities to imagine, create, collaborate, and connect with others. Music and the arts give young people space to develop those abilities, discover their own voices, and build a sense of belonging. Through the Music Impact Coalition, we\u2019re working to ensure every young person has access to the creative experiences that will help them thrive in their communities, in the workforce, and throughout their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Xin Liu<\/strong>, Founder of Enlight Foundation, identified youth mental well-being as a priority for its support.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPrioritizing youth mental well-being is one of the most vital investments we can make today,\u201d said Liu. \u201cMusic and the arts offer young people a safe haven to express themselves, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections. They create essential pathways for youth to thrive. We hope more funders will join forces with MIC!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 20 music and arts organizations have formed the Music Impact
