If you believe in the power of music and opportunity to shape a young person's life, please give now to the Soulsville Foundation. Revenue generated through admissions at the Stax Museum partially subsidizes the unique, life-changing educational experiences provided at the Stax Music Academy and The Soulsville Charter School. Your support in the form of tax-deductible financial gifts is needed so that we may continue this important work on behalf of Memphis youth.

The Stax Music Academy has a particularly strong need for donor support: on average, 9 out every 10 students who take part in one of our programs requires some form of financial assistance, with 80% of them qualifying for the maximum reduction in tuition. The balance is funded through your contributions to our annual fund.

The Academy will never turn never away a young person because of his or her family's inability to meet the tuition costs, so your support is always necessary. Only through finding new sources of support-and keeping the support of our many generous donors-can we make the Academy's high-quality, life-changing programs even more widely available to the children who will benefit from them the most.

Thanks to the hard work, generosity, and undying belief of thousands of people, Soulsville, USA is alive today with the soulful sounds and the dreams of entire community. We rely on a many, many generous individuals, foundations, corporate partners, and government agencies to make our work possible and keep the legacy alive.
