The Narada Michael Walden Foundation (NMWF) a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting music education among Bay Area youth and making a difference with music in the lives of young people.

Established in 2004, by GRAMMY award-winning producer, songwriter, and musician Narada Michael Walden, the Foundation is focused on delivering sustainable improvements in music appreciation and education.

The Foundation delivers its services through a network of non-profit organizations with proven track records of success in youth education and community empowerment. We partner with organizations that provide instruments, music education, and mentoring to students. The Foundation also endows college scholarships for aspiring musicians and enables the stars of tomorrow by offering talented, emerging young artists from around the world access to recording facilities, coaching and production support.

The NMWF is a collaborative effort supported by recognized musicians joined together to support youth through the organization's fund raising events and educational programs. The Narada Michael Walden Foundation respects the "light" and potential in every person. Music is our vehicle for enabling youth to experience creativity, love and delight, and make a productive contribution to our community, our nation and our world.
