Your generosity has a home. 🎶❤️

Today, members of the SAI Philanthropies Board visited the practice cabin at the Brevard Music Center, renovated in 2025 through the generosity of our donors.

This cabin has a remarkable SAI history. The SAI International Fund helped build it in 1971. After the 1974 merger that created Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, the cabin was renovated in 2005—and again in 2025—ensuring it continues to serve generations of young musicians.

In addition, SAI Philanthropies proudly provides a $2,000 annual institutional grant to the Brevard Music Center, further supporting its outstanding educational mission.

This is the impact of your gifts. Thank you for investing in music, musicians, and the future of our art.
