Mission Statement
Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc. provides access to music education for children with the greatest need by cultivating opportunities and funding programs for instruction, mentoring and resources. Founded in 2008, Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc. strives to uphold and build on the Cole family legacy; we envision music education as an entitlement, not a privilege, for all children.
About This Cause
SIGNATURE PROGRAMS: Project Encore! Instrument Donation Program. Your tax-deductible contributions of musical instruments are transformative gifts to a student, whose family cannot afford to purchase or rent them. NKCGH will gladly refurbish your unplayed pianos, strings, horns, wind instruments or percussion that languish in your living room, closet or attic, and deliver to under resourced schools and organizations.
