I hope you're still interested in the idea I presented to you in June. There's a great need to connect potential donors in affluent areas with inner city non profits offering tutoring/mentoring.

I've been talking to him about enlisting music programs in affluent areas to do education concerts throughout the year that draw attention, and raise money, to fund tutor/mentor programs serving kids in high poverty areas of the city or suburbs. Using the arts and music to raise awareness and support engagement could be a great way to make music more meaningful to many kids. If you're interested in the idea I'd love to help you develop it.
