Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Emergency Assistance, Human Services
Mission: The annapolis musicians fund for musicians, inc. (amfm) provides support to annapolis area based musical arts education programs and provides temporary financial relief to professional annapolis area musicians. The financial relief is intended to ensure that a loss of work by a qualifying musician will not result in financial collapse. That safety net provides rare security for annapolis area musicians, creating an opportunity for them to pursue musical artistry with a greater degree of assurance and equanimity, benefitting the musical arts community at large by benefiting the musicians themselves. Amfm also created a catastrophic fund, which provides financial assistance to annapolis area musicians who have suffered a catastrophic loss or injury. Finally, amfm has created a music scholarship grant program in memory of an annapolis musician (and music teacher) who lost his battle with cancer several years ago.
Programs: During fiscal year that ended august 31, 2017, the amfm board of directors approved eighty-four (84) applications for lost work benefits submitted by thirty-five (35) qualified annapolis area musicians, in the total amount of $18,032. Also during this period, $3,860 in musical instruction benefits was paid for thirteen(13) middle school students from the tim king scholarship fund. Finally, the board of directors also approved a donation of $4,000 for an annapolis area 501(c)(3) organization for its musical education program.
