Today is North Texas Giving Day!

Although Fort Worth Afterschool Music Academy is not an official participating organization this year, you can still support our work. Because our 501(c)(3) status is new, we were unable to complete the application process in time—but we look forward to applying when the next application period opens on November 2.

Your gift today will help us provide accessible music education, private instruction, ensemble experiences, instruments, and scholarships for young people throughout our community.

Please consider making a North Texas Giving Day gift directly to FWASMA at:

Every contribution—at any level—helps our students discover their voices and grow in excellence through the transformative power of music.

Thank you to the Fort Worth Weekly for highlighting our mission, to change lives through the transformative power of music! We are so thankful to our partners at Broadway Baptist Church- Fort Worth and Near Southside, Inc. for embracing us and making us part of an incredible community. Private lessons and ensemble rehearsals will begin September 3rd and we couldn’t be more excited! Thank you to the Foundation supporters! Our friends at The Welman Project for sponsoring us so we couldn’t receive our first grant to get started back in 2024. Thank you to the Foundation leaders that believe in our mission and have allowed us to have our home campus, and bring the best educators and musicians to teach these amazing kids!! To the community of private donors and volunteers we thank you soooo much! None of this could be possible without your time and financial support. We have a lot to do, and we have a community in Fort Worth that is willing to step up and make it happen!! Just a couple of examples: Our friends at Tulips FTW are helping us build a curriculum that will help build a pipeline of future music industry professionals. Our Piano Studio was donated by TCU School of Music Our Outreach Program that will help support existing after school music programs across Fort Worth is becoming a reality because of this community!
