Endowed Named Funds, explained.

A powerful giving opportunity at All Newton Music School.

There is a family and a story behind every Named Fund.

For decades, many in our community have chosen to support All Newton Music School students over an extended period through the power of Named Fund gifts.

All Newton Music School offers opportunities to contribute to existing Endowment Named Funds, or establish a new Named Fund with a gifts $25,000 or above. Funds may be named for the donor or in memory of a loved one.

The principal of the gift is invested, and a portion of the return is used each year to support programming, outreach, and financial aid.

Instruments for change

The Instruments for Change Fund allows All Newton Music School to recycle instruments in need of repair by accepting non-usable instruments, refurbishing them, and distributing the instruments to All Newton students of need. Loaning instruments to students that cannot afford to rent or purchase their own instruments helps All Newton fulfill our mission of  “Music for All”, while changing a student's life with music.

Billy Kroner Ensemble Scholarship

Billy’s son Gene, in his search for a special way to celebrate his father, sought out All Newton Music School as a vehicle for providing financial aid for new musicians. We continue to work with the family to assure that Billy Kroner will be remembered as a man who loved music and the joy music could bring to special moments in one’s life. The Billy Kroner fund has been instrumental in supporting our Rock Band Program.
