Music is a gift whose value is magnified most in the giving. Musicians share their talents with us, and in passing them on create something larger that brings people together in a way nothing else has the power to do.

In 1989, The Recording Academy® established the GRAMMY Foundation® to sustain music and its makers — past, present and future — as a force in all of our lives.

The GRAMMY Foundation influences the lives of young people by opening the windows of opportunity that music can provide for their futures. We also lead the efforts to ensure that the contributions made by our musical icons live on in our cultural heritage.

M I S S I O NThe GRAMMY Foundation was established in 1989 to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals.

The Foundation established the Enterprise Award in 2004 for needs-based applicants in underserved communities. Understanding that many schools are underserved and struggle to maintain a quality program — particularly in rural and urban areas — the Foundation continued to refocus the program with primary emphasis on the needs-based GRAMMY Signature Schools Enterprise Award. This year, we doubled the number of Enterprise Award winners to six and gave them grants of $5,000 each. Since the program’s inception, 662 public high schools were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools and awarded $852,000 in grants. In 2009, 14 public high schools representing 13 cities and 10 states were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools. GRAMMY Signature Schools is approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MENC: The National Association for Music Education. In an effort to expand the program’s effectiveness and increase the overall quality of applications the GRAMMY Foundation developed and launched a grant writing workshop in three markets.

The GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles program selects top high school instrumentalists and singers and brings them to the host city of the GRAMMY Awards for a once-in-a-lifetime experience where they rehearse, perform and record together — often with GRAMMY Award-winning guest artists — at a series of high profile GRAMMY Week events. The program, in its 17th year, selected 30 high school singers and instrumentalists representing 23 cities and 13 states. In addition, nearly $2 million in scholarships is offered to many ensemble members by Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and USC Thornton School of Music. In 2009, our efforts to have a greater impact in large urban markets continued to be paramount in our outreach efforts. We partnered with the Beyond The Bell branch of the Los Angeles Unified School District to pilot a vocal audition workshop. Singers attended the workshop, where they received basic instruction in healthy vocal technique, learned about the connection of jazz to other popular genres, and were coached on general audition techniques. Lastly, they were taught the two songs that are required for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles audition. After practicing for a week, 22 of the youngsters came back the following Saturday to audition for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles. Students who auditioned for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles received artistic feedback to assist them in improving their performing and audition technique.

This program is supported in part by with additional resources provided by Capitol Recording Studios (EMI Music Group), the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, Guitar Center Hollywood, Shure, SmartMusic, Spaghettini Italian Grill & Jazz Club, and Zildjian.

“Thanks so much for everything during GRAMMY week. It was one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had. Not to mention it had an overwhelmingly positive effect on my college choices. I will be attending Manhattan School of Music next year with a full tuition scholarship for the four years I attend.” — 2009 GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles Participant

GRAMMY Camp® is an interactive residential summer program for students that focuses on all aspects of the commercial music industry. The curriculum is led by core faculty and guest artists and music professionals, and it emphasizes new music technologies across a range of career tracks. GRAMMY Camp covers all aspects of creating, performing and recording, and it culminates in media projects, CD recordings and/or showcase performances. In the summer of 2009, a feature-length documentary, Happy On The Ground, was filmed during GRAMMY Camp. Recording Academy Parent/Member volunteers were enlisted to help with outreach efforts. They spoke at local schools, shared their professional experience and encouraged students and teachers to apply for our programs. GRAMMY Camp incorporated the use of new media and social networking for outreach efforts.

The program is hosted by the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and supported in part by ASCAP, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, the Ford Motor Company Fund, and USC Thornton School of Music.

O U R P R E S E R VAT I O N & A D VA N C E M E N T I N I T I AT I V E S The GRAMMY Foundation’s preservation and advancement initiatives foster dialogue about the compelling issues facing the music industry, support projects that increase the understanding of music and its role in society and raise public awareness of the urgent need to preserve our nation’s recorded sound legacy.

The Grant Program, with funding generously provided by The Recording Academy, awards grants annually to organizations and individuals in two categories: scientific research studies that advance our knowledge of the impact of music on the human condition, and archiving projects that implement or plan the preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations. The Grant Program is seeing more and better qualified applicants each year and this results in funding outstanding, meaningful, and diverse projects. In a year that saw a 75 percent decrease in available funds, 11 exceptional projects were funded.

GRAMMY Living Histories

The GRAMMY Living Histories program preserves on visual media the life stories of key recording industry professionals and visionaries who helped create the history of recorded sound. Footage is used by the GRAMMY Foundation and partner organizations to develop educational programs that tell the unique stories of our musical history. Twenty-two GRAMMY Living Histories interviews were conducted this year. To date, 206 living histories interviews have been conducted.

Music Preservation Project

The Music Preservation Project partners with organizations and archives to chronicle and preserve historic music performances and materials. The project has collaborated with organizations and archives such as the Louis Armstrong House and Archives, Leonard Bernstein estate, Country Music Hall of Fame, Woody Guthrie Archives, Historic New Orleans Collection, Library of Congress, Louisiana State Museum, and the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies. Each year during GRAMMY Week, the GRAMMY Foundation produces a preservation-themed event designed to heighten public awareness of the program. Music in Focus celebrated the parallels in creative expression between music and photography and featured the work of renowned photographers Danny Clinch, Robert Knight and the late legendary jazz photographer Herman Leonard. Live performances followed highlights from their respective collections and included GRAMMY winning artists Daniel Lanois and Lucinda Williams, as well as guitarists Tyler Bryant and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and GRAMMY nominee Sara Bareilles. The performers played to a sold out house of approximately 1,200 enthusiastic guests at the historical Wilshire Ebell Theatre. Hosted by news and music journalist Kurt Loder with presenting remarks by GRAMMY Foundation Sr. Vice President Kristen Madsen, President/CEO of the Recording Academy and GRAMMY Foundation President/CEO Neil Portnow, and GRAMMY Foundation Board Chair George Jones. In the 11th year of the event tickets were sold for the first time and the result was a sold-out performance.

The GRAMMY Foundation was instrumental in writing and successfully passing the National Recording Preservation Act. This legislation created a National Recording Preservation Board that works with the Librarian of Congress and the public to select entries for the National Recording Registry, ensuring the preservation of these designated historic recordings. Since passage of the act in 2000 and its reauthorization in 2008, 300 recordings have been added to the registry.

The Entertainment Law Initiative® is comprised of three components: a legal seminar series, a national scholarship essay competition for law students and a high-profile luncheon during GRAMMY Week that is attended by students, music attorneys, executives and members of The Recording Academy. Since its inception in 1999, the Entertainment Law Initiative has granted $121,000 in scholarships to aspiring law students.

In 2009, the Entertainment Law Initiative Luncheon grossed $178,700 and more than 400 prominent entertainment attorneys were in attendance. 2009 saw a year of continued growth for the Entertainment Law Initiative in terms of outreach and standing in the entertainment legal community. In the past year, ELI introduced writing competition workshops at prominent law schools around the country. Seeking to demystify the process of entering the competition and increase submissions and awareness, these workshops also provided important interaction with some of the country’s top entertainment attorneys. ELI continued to further its profile in the legal community though its legal seminar series. In addition to the annual panel at the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law, ELI returned to offer panels at the SXSW Music Conference, and the CMJ Music Marathon. In its 11th year, ELI continues to act as a sounding board for issues of law pertinent to the music industry.

“It was one of the most beneficial things I did during law school. The ELI program is extremely well-run and the events, networking, and hospitality were second to none. Being published in a major legal journal has also paid incredible dividends. This is not just a writing contest...ELI is a career changer in every sense.” — Tim Kappell 2009 ELI Runner Up, Loyola University, New Orleans

“The ELI experience confirmed the reasons I have been involved in the creation and business of music for as long as I can remember. Great people, amazing events and the chance to be a part of it all.”— Joe Merante 2009 ELI Runner Up, New York Law School
