As government support for education wanes and the economy stiffens, administrators are making deep cuts in Art and Humanities Education. There seems to be rampant ignorance of the powerful impact art & music education have on IQ, high order thinking and reasoning. This service vacuum creates the need for independent development and funding of supplemental arts and humanities programs for our children.



As a Charity Corporation, The Jimi Hendrix Foundation, with its strategic partners establish initiatives and uses the 'star power' of Jimi Hendrix to create programs that provide direct and/or indirect funding, as well as programs in art, music and community education in our home community, our great nation and the world.
