Gives Back
World Projects is committed to giving back to the music community at local, regional, state, national and international levels. We believe that giving back can be done in a many ways including direct donations or sponsorships, securing donations from vendors in our industry to assist groups with their fundraising efforts, and providing travel scholarships to young musicians in financial need are some of the ways that World Projects actively gives back to the music community. All of our “Give Back” initiatives focus on supporting student musicians, music educators, or the general advancement of music education as well as the creation of new music around the globe.
