Community Services Report 2009-2010

Community Services Report 2009-2010
E
ach year, the GRAMMY Foundation®
gathers the stories of the past 12 months
in our Community Services Report. For
this report, we are combining the activities
into a two-year report covering 2009 and 2010.
What you’ll discover in these stories are highlights
that mark some of our accomplishments and
recount the inspiring moments that affirm our
mission and invigorate our programs throughout
the years. Since 2007, we’ve chosen to tell our
stories of the past fiscal year’s achievements
in an online version of our report — to both
conserve resources and to enliven the account
with interactive features. We hope you enjoy what
you learn about the GRAMMY Foundation and
welcome your feedback.

MISSION
The GRAMMY Foundation was established
by The Recording Academy® to cultivate the
understanding, appreciation, and advancement
of the contribution of recorded music to American

music professionals.
O U R E D U C AT I O N P R O G R A M S
Under the banner of GRAMMY in the Schools®, the GRAMMY Foundation produces and supports

Just as the GRAMMY Award recognizes excellence in recording, the GRAMMY
Signature Schools program, presented by the Gibson Foundation with support
from the Ford Motor Company Fund, honors top public high school music
programs with cash grants. Understanding that many schools struggle to maintain
a quality program — particularly in rural and urban areas — the Foundation
established the GRAMMY Signature Schools Enterprise Award for needs-based
applicants in under-served communities. Since the program’s inception, 662 public
high schools were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools and awarded $852,000
in grants. GRAMMY Signature Schools is approved by the National Association
of Secondary School Principals and MENC: The National Association for Music
Education. In 2010, 12 public high schools representing 11 cities and 9 states
were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools. In 2009, we doubled the number of
Enterprise Award winners to six and gave them grants of $5,000 each. In an effort
to expand the program’s
effectiveness and increase the
overall quality of applications,
the GRAMMY Foundation,
with help of the Ford Motor
Company Fund, developed
and launched a grant writing
workshop in three markets. In
2009, 14 public high schools
representing 13 cities and
10 states were selected as
GRAMMY Signature Schools.

GRAMMY JAZZ ENSEMBLES
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. In 2010, highlights included
an appearance on the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast with Dave
Matthews. The program, in its 18th year, selected 28 high school singers
and instrumentalists representing 26 cities and 12 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.
“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
The 2009 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
Ensembles members by Berklee College of Music, Manhattan
School of Music, New School for Jazz and Contemporary
Music, and USC Thornton School of Music. We partnered with
the Beyond the Bell branch of the Los Angeles Unified School
District to pilot a vocal audition workshop. Singers in Los
Angeles and Compton, Calif. signed up to attend 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, and we video
recorded their audition for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles.

“What came off that plane
from L.A. returning to us was
a more focused and mature
young musician, clearer about
what he wants to do and how
he wants to go about it. He
now knows what the pursuit
of excellence means — and
that he wants to continue to
work hard so that he can be
part of it. What you gave these
kids, more than anything, was
pure inspiration.” — 2009 GRAMMY

GRAMMY CAMP®
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, guest artists, and music professionals, 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 2010, Converse came onboard and
allowed GRAMMY Campers to participate in their “Connectivity Campaign.”
An additional element that was incorporated into the curriculum included the
Social Networking and New Media Activity, during which guest professionals
worked with teams of campers to create and identify strategies to promote
camper-created viral videos. GRAMMY in the Schools program alumni were
enlisted to help with new media and social networking for these outreach efforts.
The program is hosted by the University of Southern California Thornton
School of Music and supported in part by ASCAP, Best Buy, BET, CocaCola, CenterStaging, Converse, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation,
Epiphone, the Ford Motor Company Fund, Guitar Center Hollywood, the Hot
Topic Foundation, JBL by Harman, the Les Paul Foundation, Line 6, Mackie,
Remo, Shure, and USC Thornton School of Music.

“Thank you so much for
your amazing week with
our son. It takes special
people to be able to listen
to the needs of young
talent. Our son had never
experienced anything like
this before. The fact that
you cared about his
success, and took the time
to ensure he had a
phenomenal experience
means so much to us.”

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 archive
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
our funding outstanding, meaningful, and diverse
projects. In 2010 — the grant program’s 23rd year
— grants were awarded to nine recipients in the
United States, Canada and the Dominican Republic.
Funds supported a range of research, archiving,
and preservation projects on subjects including:
investigating links between pre-school children’s
rhythm ability and their pre-reading skills; completing
the preservation and digitization of the world’s
most complete collection of commercially recorded
Mexican-American vernacular music; and creating
a preservation plan for the collection of recordings
of Roy Harris, a renowned 20th century American
classical music composer. Fiscal year 2009 saw a
75 percent decrease in available funds; however,
11 exceptional projects were funded. g r a m m y f o u n d a t i o n . o r g

2010 GRANT RECIPIENTS
Preservation Implementation Center for Black Music Research, Columbia College — Chicago | Awarded: $15,000
This project will digitize, archive, preserve, and make available to the public 142 audio cassettes
(194 hours) containing in-depth interviews with 100 important Jamaican studio musicians, arrangers,
and vocalists. The interviews feature the musicians who created the genres of ska, rocksteady, and
reggae during the 60s and 70s, and reveal in great detail how these new forms actually emerged, and
what their creators thought about the creative process.

Arhoolie Foundation — El Cerrito, Calif. | Awarded: $10,000
The Frontera Collection is the world’s most complete gathering of commercially recorded Mexican
American vernacular music. Recognizing the historical value of this one-of-a-kind collection, the
Arhoolie Foundation, in partnership with the UCLA Digital Library, has successfully preserved, digitized,
and created public access to over 50,000 individual performances captured on 78 rpm and 45 rpm
records. Twelve thousand 45s are still in urgent need of preservation.

New England Folk Music Archives — Cambridge, Mass. | Awarded: $15,000
The Archive’s goal is long-term preservation, cataloguing, storing, and dissemination of Club 47’s most
fragile reel-to-reels of live performances and field recordings (1958–1963) and related oral histories on
audiocassettes (1990–2007). This unique collection contextualizes the New England music scene and its

The study will investigate links between pre-school children’s rhythm ability and their pre-reading skills, with
a goal of determining the relationships between rhythm skills and predictors of later reading achievement.
The study’s long-term goals are to use pre-school rhythm ability measures to predict future reading
disability and to use music training to bolster reading acquisition and as an early intervention for reading
disability.

Each year during GRAMMY Week, the GRAMMY Foundation produces an event designed
to heighten public awareness of our work. In 2010, Cue The Music explored the invaluable
contributions of music to television and its influence on the American cultural landscape.
Presented in partnership with the Paley Center for Media, the evening featured footage of
historical significance including clips from music in variety shows, television themes, and
sitcoms while also taking a look at how television has become a 21st century medium for
breaking new artists.

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.

“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.”
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 $132,000 in scholarships to aspiring
law students.
The Entertainment Law Initiative’s Annual
Scholarship Luncheon continued over the
course of 2009 and 2010. Attendance
increased to more than 400 and revenue
topped the $200,000 mark. ELI also increased
its writing competition workshops at law
schools around the country. The workshops are
designed to demystify the process of entering
the competition, increase submissions and
awareness, and provide interaction with top
entertainment attorneys. In total, more than
30 workshops were presented over the past
two years.

During GRAMMY Week 2010, the GRAMMY Foundation launched a new
fundraising event — GRAMMY In The Schools Live! – A Celebration of Music
& Education sponsored by the Ford Motor Company Fund with support from
94.7 the WAVE. This special evening, which was open to the public, showcased
the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles, along with student alumni from GRAMMY Camp
and GRAMMY Signature Schools, with special guest artists Mindi Abair, Brian
Culbertson, and Boney James.
On July 23, 2010, Keith Urban, three-time GRAMMY winner and one of country
music’s most successful and influential artists, headlined the GRAMMY Foundation’s
signature benefit Starry Night concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at the University of California, Los
Angeles. Urban was also GRAMMY Camp’s honorary dean and he offered an impassioned message during
the sold-out, two-hour concert.

As part of the event, six GRAMMY Camp participants were called up to the stage to perform Urban’s No. 1 hit “Days Go
By.” The crowd reacted with thunderous applause. Rising folk/rock stars the Avett Brothers opened the benefit. Starry
Night was sponsored in part by Coca-Cola and TastingRoom.com. This event was presented in association with the Farmers
Classic tennis tournament presented by Mercedes-Benz, and was held three nights prior to the tournament’s opening.
Starry Night benefitted the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools music education programs and the Southern
California Tennis Association’s foundation.
Following a successful fundraising program launched for MusiCares in 2009, the GRAMMY Foundation initiated a series of
House Concerts in 2010. These intimate evenings, which were hosted by Board members, offered superb hors d’oeuvres
and beverages and featured acclaimed performances by Josh Groban, Corinne Bailey Rae and LeAnn Rimes to benefit the
GRAMMY Foundation.
The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools initiatives would not be possible without the remarkable support
received from a number of corporate partners:
Campbell’s Labels for Education
In 2009, The GRAMMY Foundation was named the first philanthropic partner of the newly refreshed Labels for Education
(LFE) program. The GRAMMY Foundation secured a number of high profile “Artist Ambassadors” to join the LFE effort. These Ambassadors made appearances at selected schools to emphasize the importance of music education. In addition
the GRAMMY Foundation created an exclusive curriculum entitled “Discovery Through Music.” The curriculum focuses on
using music as a tool for learning across many different disciplines. It is offered free to any school that signs up for LFE.
The GRAMMY Foundation continued its partnership with LFE in 2010. In-store promotions featuring the GRAMMY
Foundation were run in regional supermarket chains. 20
By the end of fiscal year 2010 the Discovery Through Music curriculum had been downloaded by over 12,000 schools
nationwide.
Best Buy
At the National GRAMMY Career Day in 2010, Best Buy pledged to partner with the GRAMMY Foundation to raise $1
million in funding to support music education programs in schools around the country. Funding will be raised from a
variety of cause marketing activities over the course of the year.
Sound Matters
Sound Matters is a cause marketing partnership between the GRAMMY Foundation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation
and Best Buy. Launched in 2008 the campaign continued through both 2009 and 2010 focusing on the sale of in-ear
headphones at over 900 Best Buy stores around the country. The campaign also reinforces the importance of hearing
conservation among young music fans. g r a mmyfoun dation .o rg

Ford Motor Company Fund
The Ford Motor Company Fund provided support for GRAMMY Career Day programs and GRAMMY Signature
School Awards in six selected markets in 2009 and 2010. Additionally, a full scholarship to GRAMMY Camp was
offered to a high school music student from each participating market.
Converse
Converse came aboard as a first time GRAMMY Camp sponsor in 2010. In addition to financial support,
Converse incorporated GRAMMY Camp students in their Connectivity Campaign.
Gibson Foundation
The Gibson Foundation continued its funding support for GRAMMY Signature Schools and GRAMMY Career
Day nationally.
All of the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools initiatives benefit from the funds raised through these
partnerships. We offer our deepest thanks and appreciation to these partners for their vision and creativity in
finding new and unique ways to develop the funding necessary to continue our music education programs.
YOUR SUPPORT
As our industry responds to current technological and economic shifts, the need to broaden and sustain our
mission increases. Your help is more important now than ever. When considering a charity for your personal
contribution or corporate affiliation, please remember that you can make a real difference in the lives of the
people we serve through support of the GRAMMY Foundation.
