To use the power of music to make a positive change in the world.

Music for HOPE is a non-profit charity founded in 1994 by Michael Jones with the mission of Making the world a better place through Music. We currently have 2 active chapters operating in Las Vegas, NV and Charlottesville VA. We collect new or used musical instruments from the community, refurbish them as needed and distribute them to struggling school music programs or directly to youth who would otherwise not have access to instruments or music programs. We know that involvement with music from an early age positively impacts youth with lasting social, academic, and confidence boosting effects. Research consistently shows that playing music can significantly improve a child's learning, memory, and social abilities. Greater society also benefits from creating more music opportunities for at-risk youth.
