Music Therapy Impact Fund

Music Therapy Impact Fund is sponsored by Nevada County Community Foundation (NVCF). Dedicated to expanding high-quality, research-informed music therapy services throughout Butte County, California. Priorities include strengthening current programs and building new programs, and reducing financial barriers for participants.

The NVCF grant portal provides current and past grantees the ability to check on the status of current applications, review past applications, access executed grant agreements, complete required reports and more.

Three of our larger grant programs — the Aaron Rodgers, Donna Murrill and Camp Fire funds — accept applications just one month a year. Watch for announcements and updates on our website. A limited number of grants may be considered on a special basis outside that cycle.
