SAVE OUR STUDIOS WE NEED SUPPORT FROM MUSIC LOVERS LIKE YOU TO SAVE 4 STUDIOS IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS! Unexpectedly this week, our host and funders, Madison Square Boys & Girls Clubs have notified us they only have 30 days of funding remaining to underwrite the programming of our studios inside their Bronx, Harlem and two Brooklyn Clubhouses. The Madison Square Boys & Girls Clubs explained that they have faced significant budget shortfalls, as have many non-profits who rely on government grants, which has left them unable to raise the necessary funding. In these four NY studios Notes for Notes relies solely on this funding to sustain our full-time Producers and keep the studios open five days a week, year-round giving thousands of youth the opportunity to explore, create and record music for FREE. Your support of one studio, all four or even partial support will allow us to maintain programming in a number of ways to ensure music remains in the lives of each youth that has found a home in our studios, let alone the many that will continue to discover the power music creation in these spaces! Thank you for your consideration PHILIP GILLEY CEO/Co-Founder

HARLEM
N4N has just learned that four of our five NYC studios will close at the end of February unless new funding can be secured. Housed inside Madison Square Boys & Girls Clubs in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Harlem and previously funded by the organization, a budget shortfall has left the Boys & Girls Club unable to underwrite N4N programming. Please adopt a studio(s) for a year or more giving thousands of youth access to music TOTAL SUPPORT NEEDED: $300,000 PER STUDIO SPONSORSHIP: $75,000
BROOKLYN
Partial support will still allow us to extend the runway and implement modified programming while we seek to raise all necessary funds.
