Beautiful Mind & KEF Partner to Support Music Programs in Korea
The philanthropic organization Beautiful Mind has teamed up with audio equipment brand KEF to support music education and orchestral activities for children with disabilities and adolescents from low-income families in Korea. KEF will provide wireless hi-fi speakers and wireless earphones for Beautiful Mind’s music programs, which include an integrated orchestra for disabled and non-disabled musicians. Music companies like KEF are part of a growing number of music businesses that are aligning their philanthropic strategies to provide in-kind and monetary support to community-based music programs. These types of partnerships are a useful way to build capacity within our organizations—even if you are not in Korea, it’s worth reading the story of how this collaboration came to be.
