Support

Each year, tax-deductible gifts are made to Junior Composers which are then used to invest in the creativity and industry of some of today’s most talented young people. Support is given through the North Central Region (NCR), a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation created for charitable and educational purposes that is part of the National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC).

Established in 2004 with the purpose of supporting Junior Composers and its students, the NCR Endowment welcomes contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations wishing to make investments in the creative work of young people. The NCR Endowment administers gifts to Junior Composers and has aggregated a fund in excess of $20,000 with the purpose of long-term support of our program.
