Mission/Vision
Mission
TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF KIDS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE GIFT OF A GUITAR.
At FG4K, we not only believe music is one of the greatest gifts we’ve been given, but also that the opportunity to play, compose or perform songs is one that every child should be afforded; and it is our goal to do just that!
It is our belief that every child should be able to experience both the joy and the tangible benefits of owning a musical instrument, regardless of his or her ability to purchase one.
Vision
To Give Away 1 Million Guitars!
Guitars Help Kids
- Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education
- Neural firing patterns suggest that music might hold the key to brain function
- Playing a musical instrument strengthens eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills
- Holding a guitar brings an immediate sense of joy, and represents a pallet for creativity
