LOS ANGELES, CA – Education Through Music-LA (ETM-LA) was announced as one of 35 recipients of a multi-year General Operating Support Grant from the Perenchio Foundation. Perenchio Foundation’s General Operating Support Grants provide flexible funding to Los Angeles County arts organizations to bolster operational resilience. With a commitment for multiple years, these grants aim to help arts organizations address immediate needs, strengthen infrastructure, plan from a place of greater confidence and stability, and build capacity for a long-term future in the region.
“These remarkable organizations embody not just artistic excellence, but also a deep, enduring commitment to their communities,” said Perenchio Foundation Chief Executive Officer Stephania Ramirez. “By providing stable, multi-year funding, we are investing in their ability to thrive, innovate, and lead in a landscape where funding can be uncertain. We are honored to support their vision for the future.”
This funding strengthens ETM-LA’s ability to continue delivering high-quality music and arts programming, and expands our capacity to serve our community. ETM-LA Executive Director Victoria Lanier shared, “We are deeply grateful for this monumental grant and partnership to help further equity and access to comprehensive yearlong music education in under-resourced Los Angeles schools.”
ETM-LA partners with under-resourced school communities across Los Angeles County to provide high-quality in-school music education and create systemic change using a uniquely comprehensive model. Now in our 19th year, we are reaching approximately 18,000 students at 41 schools, nurturing students’ creative and overall development and academic achievement.
