What it says it does

Artz for the Harp is a nonprofit organization that provide music instruments for lessons and arts enrichment and arts therapy programming to those who need us most throughout Georgia and the southeast. We provide subsidized rates, sliding scales and scholarships to those in need during our fall and spring programs afterschool and during our summer arts enrichment camps. We have also expanded to provide transportation for students in need at no additional cost to the parents, and afterschool childcare options. FY 24 we were able to positively impact 522 students through our partner support and grant funding.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
