Stubbs Music

STUBBS'  EDUCATIONAL Foundation   

         

For over forty years Martha Stubbs has dedicated her professional career to developing young people's musical talents.  In an effort to financially reach out to outstanding, needy, and minority students Martha has founded an endowment program.  Through scholarships and special programs, high achievers and students in need of financial assistance will have opportunities currently not available.  Individuals will have the opportunity to select the instrument of their choice, although piano is encouraged until the basic skills are mastered.  Martha and the Board would like to have you join their team in developing the corpus for this endowment.  As you know, Martha is an individual concerned about the need for quality fine arts programs.  Now is your opportunity to say, yes, Martha, I support you, your ideas and the values for which you stand.

Stubbs' Educational Foundation's goal is to provide music scholarships for K-12th grade students in North Florida ans South
Georgia.  At least 70% of the scholarships go to financially need-based
students and the remaining to merit recipients.  Through our community partners- Boys and Girls Clubs of the Big Bens, Boys Town of North Florida, Tallahassee Community College, and Lighthouse Children's Home, we have been able to enhance the lives of many children that would have never had the opportunity to learn music.
