Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MR HOLLAND'S OPUS FOUNDATION KEEPS MUSIC ALIVE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES BY DONATING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO UNDERFUNDED MUSIC PROGRAMS, GIVING YOUNGSTERS THE MANY BENEFITS OF MUSIC EDUCATION, HELPING THEM TO BE BETTER STUDENTS AND INSPIRING CREATIVITY AND EXPRESSION THROUGH PLAYING MUSIC.
DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, MHOF DONATED A TOTAL OF 1,308 NEW AND REFURBISHED INSTRUMENTS AND 728 NEW ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS MOUTHPIECES, CHAIRS, AND INSTRUMENT RACKS, TO HELP 49 UNDER-FUNDED K-2 SCHOOLS IN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES. OVER THE LIFE OF THE INSTRUMENTS, AN ESTIMATED 13,000 PLUS STUDENTS WILL BE IMPACTED. THE DONATIONS ALLOW STUDENTS IN THOSE SCHOOLS WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT OR BUY AN INSTRUMENT, AND/OR THAT ARE ON WAITING LISTS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE MUSIC PROGRAM AND PLAY QUALITY INSTRUMENTS. THIS IMPROVES THEIR EXPERIENCE, INSPIRES CONFIDENCE AND INCREASES SKILL AND OVERALL ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE DEEPENED OUR MISSION'S EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH OFFERING MEDSS(R) - MUSIC EDUCATION DISTRICT SUPPORT SERVICES, TO MORE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. MEDSS HAS PROVEN TO PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY AND SUCCESSFULLY WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE COMMITTED TO THE PROCESS THAT WILL HELP DELIVER STRONG, ACCOUNTABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE MUSIC EDUCATION IN THEIR SCHOOLS. MEDSS PROGRAM AND INVENTORY AUDITS RESULT IN A THOROUGH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON ALL SCHOOL CAMPUSES AND ORGANIZE THE INFORMATION IN A USEFUL AND LOGICAL WAY, SHOWING KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS WILL ALWAYS BE THE SCARCEST RESOURCE BECAUSE OF THE COST, THEY ARE INCLUDED AS PART OF MEDSS, AND THE DURATION OF MHOF'S INVOLVEMENT IN A DISTRICT IS TWO TO FIVE YEARS. CURRENTLY, MEDSS IS ACTIVE IN HOUSTON, ATLANTA, LOS ANGELES, NASHVILLE, BRONX NY, AIKEN SC, BOSTON, COMPTON, SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN DIEGO.
IN JANUARY 2014, MHOF ASSUMED THE OPERATIONS OF THE MUSIC RISING PROGRAM FROM THE GIBSON FOUNDATION, THE PROGRAM'S PRIMARY STAKEHOLDER. MUSIC RISING IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM THAT REBUILDS MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN THE AFTERMATH OF A NATURAL OR FINANCIAL DISASTER. IN EXCHANGE FOR MHOF AGREEING TO CARRY OUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND OPERATIONS OF THE PROGRAM, THE REMAINING FUNDS IN THE PROGRAM WERE TRANSFERRED FROM THE GIBSON FOUNDATION TO MHOF AND CLASSIFIED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED. FOR CLARITY OF REPORTING, THESE PROGRAM FUNDS WERE DEPOSITED INTO A SEPARATE BANK ACCOUNT FROM WHICH ALL FINANCIAL ACTIVITY WILL BE PROCESSED. MHOF RECORDED THIS INITIAL AMOUNT AS A TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTION IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES.
