smile for music gUG (haftungsbeschränkt)
smile for music—we bring music to places where it fosters joy, education, and community. We do this by working to ensure that as many people as possible who want to play music have access to music or the resources they need to do so—regardless of their background or financial situation.
How do we do this? By collecting in-kind or monetary donations from musicians, clubs, bands, and even the music industry and music retailers. These donations are then distributed to those in need in a targeted and purposeful manner. With us, in-kind donations—such as used instruments and music accessories—always get a second chance!
