The Bubs Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization created to "awaken in young people a passion for expression and learning through music". The foundation funds music programs in schools that don't have the funding or haven't had the opportunity to create strong music programs in the past. [1] [2]

Current programs

As of 2008, the Bubs Foundation had donated over $50,000 in grants to 60 music programs in and around Boston and launched a cappella groups in several Boston public middle and high schools.

Be the Music The "Be the Music" program, formed in 2002, brings Tufts students and alums, as well as music students and teachers from outside the university, to area high schools to teach students how to sing a cappella style. An estimated 250 students have participated in Be the Music since its inception. [3]
