About Us

The Nick Manoloff Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit Corporation based in Southern California.

Founded by Nick Manoloff’s only surviving daughter and grandson, the foundation honors his legacy by supporting art and education programs. We help young artists develop their skills by providing financial aid and support to private schools and campuses throughout the United States.

Nick Manoloff, was a teacher and immigrant from Bulgaria.

He made significant contributions to music education. He inspired artists like BB King, and taught musicians such as Gene Autry and Richard Trentlage, who wrote the famous "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener" jingle. Nick Manoloff held a US patent and wrote more than 180 music books, which appeared in over 250 publications. Today many of these books are still available on Amazon and eBay.
