Help MMTA continue with it's amazing programming including the Honors Concert. Currently our website is failing and is in need of a major upgrade. MMTA has always strived to keep our programs affordable thus very little "extra" is available to assist with covering expensive projects like this. Please consider donating today! Every amount helps.
Donations are welcomed to the MMTA Foundation all year. We are so grateful for your continued support! Donations can be made online or checks payable to "MMTA Foundation" may be mailed to:

Now more than ever, the MMTA Foundation needs your support to help continue the mission of MMTA. MMTA is facing increased expenses including a website rebuild. Your gift will help to make more support of MMTA possible. MMTA runs on a very tight operating budget. Most of our programming is led by volunteers or teachers who are compensated with a small stipend. Help keep MMTA programming affordable for all. Help us provide scholarships for students who do need funding to support their continued participation in our programs.
