Founded in 2012 by Stu Herreid and Budd Snell in order to promote musical education and quality of life through music.
Our primary focus is on supplying instruments to schools with active music programs - dedicated classes, clubs, or after-school programs.
We believe that teaching, supporting and playing music in schools leads to a better community and fosters an environment which will produce healthy members of society.

Please consider a donation to Ukes for Schools. All of our instrument purchases are funded by personal and corporate donations. A donation of $50 helps us to purchase one ukulele (beginning student uke), with gig bag and tuner. A typical classroom may use 20-30 ukes (Student Ukulele clubs can be smaller). Contributions are used to fund instrument purchases through our organization and to support our outreach and teacher learning programs.
At Ukes for Schools, we believe in fostering an environment that supports diversity and promotes inclusive music education in schools. Our aim is to create music that inspires every student, while maintaining a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all employees, artists, donors, volunteers, and audiences. We enthusiastically encourage applications from people of every gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background, religious affiliation, educational background, and ability. Our organization is committed to cultivating a diverse and empathetic community with a wide range of perspectives, skills, and experiences, and contributing to a shared exploration of the human experience.
