Welcome to the ISME music advocacy resource centre. This is currently being constructed but in the meantime here are some places for music education advocacy resources.

The NAMM Foundation: celebrating and promoting the intrinsic value of music education. Scroll down on their home page for a list of programs that the NAMM Foundation runs to advance active participation in music making across the lifespan.

NAfME: based in the US and designed to support US-based music educators, NAfME has a wealth of resources available for non members and those outside the US.

Parsons Music Advocacy Awards, brought to you by ISME: open until 31 May 2023, these new awards are designed to provide funding for new and existing advocacy programs. It is envisaged that these awards will be biennial in 2024 and 2026.
