Founded in 2010 by guitarist/songwriter Damon Marks, the Traveling Guitar Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which provides musical equipment and support for school systems across the United States that are struggling to finance their music education programs. Through our efforts, we work to ensure that the equipment we donate is used regularly and properly for the betterment of students’ educational, artistic, and social development. In so doing, we hope to catalyze students’ creativity, foster their intellectual growth, and expose them to the joys that music can bring. The foundation has major sponsors including Schecter Guitars, Mogami Cable, Marriott, EMG Pickups, Guitar Center and Mesa Boogie amplifiers.
