The Chestnut Family Foundation has made a two-year $1,142,000 commitment to our longtime partner, Atlanta Music Project (AMP). The funds will be used to support the development of AMP teaching artists, the new full-time Music Career Counselor position, AMP’s partnerships within local public schools, and bolster AMP’s two new endowments. This is our largest single gift to AMP and reflects our continued belief in the positive impact AMP has on some of our most under-resourced communities.
Atlanta Music Project is a creative and award-winning youth development program, which uses the discipline of music to help children and teens develop the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to succeed.
We are very grateful to be a small part of AMP’s growth and development, and to support its outstanding leaders, team members, and students.
