At MiTM, we wouldn’t be successful without great local partnerships. We don’t approach our mission and vision as aspirations we can achieve alone. In fact, we feel exactly the opposite. The realization of our mission and vision come from leveraging local partners such other not-for-profit organizations, independent musicians, members of the media, proprietors of great venues, and hundreds of local music fans who come out to support us. It takes everyone to make real change happen.
A question we get asked often is “how can I help?” Here are a handful of ways in which you can help us spread the healing power of music:
© Local charities – if you are involved with a local charity that could benefit from a partnership with MiTM, then we need to talk. Most end recipients of our donations are through local organizations. Remember our focus is in the areas of music education, children’s health programs, and assistance to military veterans.
© Media – we always need help telling our story to mass audiences. If you work in the print media, radio, internet blog, or television, we could use your help. Whether it is around the coverage for an upcoming event or a special interest story on work we’ve done, we can help you discover an interesting “news angle” when covering MiTM.
© Musicians – this is all about the music! We need talented musicians from all genres to help us bring people to our concert events. As we continue to expand our friends and fan base, we need your music to help provide the medicine. Concert events can be as small as fifty people or as large as one thousand.
© Venues – Different musicians, different crowds, and different venues. We appreciate the loyalty and support of venues we already work with. But we can always expand … especially as we continue to expand the communities we work in.
© Donors and Supporters – Like any not-for-profit, we are always in need of material (money) support. That can be through a general donation, paid attendance at an event, or even purchasing MiTM merchandise – more this coming in the next week or so.
