Bandstand Foundation is our sister-nonprofit organization that was created to bolster the visions of emerging artists in the form of grants, educational scholarships and project support.

Through the generosity of our community, we are able to financially support and operationally execute a diverse collection of new and exciting projects from records to live shows that would otherwise not be possible.
