ABOUT OUR FOUNDATION
The Nick Manoloff Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Southern California, honors the extraordinary legacy of Nick Manoloff — a pioneering music educator and inventor whose work influenced legends like B.B. King, Chuck Berry and taught many others such as Gene Autry. By providing vital financial aid and support to young artists nationwide, we help talented students access quality arts education and pursue their creative dreams. Join us in preserving a rich heritage of artistic excellence and inspiring the next generation.
Help Us Build Brighter Futures
Through receiving donations and grants, the Nick Manoloff Foundation enables us to provide private arts and academic schools the ability to offer scholarships and financial aids for exceptional students ages 5 to 17 who can not afford tuition. Rather than awarding full scholarships directly, we work with qualified and vetted schools, colleges, and universities—ensuring long-term investment in both student success and program excellence.
Stand with us to provide vital resources that empower the next generation of artistic leaders.
