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 has 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 Program
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 in an a cappella style. An estimated 250 students have participated in the Be The Music Program since its inception.
The Bubs Foundation has also created curriculum kits, using the Be The Music Program as a model, in order to support other a cappella groups around the country in their efforts to create their own initiatives.[3]
