Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Arts & Culture, Music

Mission: Since 2011, MMI has operated as a community based nonprofit instrumental summer music program for young people in the Great State of Mississippi. We have students from cities that include Jackson, Vicksburg, Madison, Canton, Port Gibson, Natchez, Laurel, Hattiesburg and several other communities in the state. The organization’s stated purpose is “to bring student musicians together to develop, enhance, and expose their musical skills.” MMI also aims to create pathways to educational opportunities for students and to provide a positive setting for the youth to participate in constructive activities each summer, giving them a positive platform to express their artistic skills. The ultimate purpose of MMI is to foster a dynamic learning environment, while creating a cultural phenomenon, providing extrinsic motivation to students throughout the ENTIRE state of Mississippi. I am looking to raise over a $300,000 to assist with curriculum and instruction for our students by providing them with adequate equipment/instruments. Items We Need this Summer*: 16 Conn 20K Series Brass BBb Sousaphones 20KSPW Silver Plate/w Case $9,199.00 each which totals $147,184.00 16 King 1127 Ultimate Series Marching Bb Baritone Horn/w Case $2,309.00 each which totals $36,944.00 16 King K30 Series Marching Bb Euphonium K30SP Silver/w Case $3,399.00 each which totals $54,384.00 16 King SB20P Marching F Mellophone Silver/w Case S1,949.00 each which totals $31,184.00 32 King 2055 Silver Flair Series Bb Trumpet 2055T Silver 1st Valve Thumb Trigger $1,709.00 each which totals $54,688.00 Grand Total $324,384.00
