The Piano Santa Foundation

The Piano Santa Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, set up in 1994 with a mission of "enriching life through music." We work to provide music education opportunities for children, particularly in underserved populations, in the Portland (Oregon) metropolitan area. The three main focuses of our programming are (1) Scholarships: placing pianos in students’ homes, (2) First Step and Second Step Keyboard Programs: offering group piano lessons to elementary-aged children, and (3) Community Placement Grants: placing pianos with deserving community organizations. In support of these programs, we provide in-home piano tunings and maintenance, offer educational opportunities, offer free access to a 1500-book music library, and sponsor student recitals throughout the year. Please see our website (www.pianosanta.org) for more information.
