Music and animals,
since 2001.
The Bettina Baruch Foundation supports music, music education and the bond between humans and animals.
New York City ~ Established 2001
What we support
Music and animals.
The Foundation funds organizations working in two areas, and has sometimes given support to special one-off projects initiated by musicians and animal lovers.
-
Music and music education
Organizations that seek to inspire children with a love of music, innovative and exciting music festivals, fledgling opera companies, and scholarships at several conservatories.
-
The bond between humans and animals
Animal rescue and welfare, training facilities for assistance dogs, and groups that find ways to pair animals with the elderly.
Giving
Small grants, given repeatedly.
We are a small foundation and we give in small amounts. What we can offer most usefully is steadiness — most of the organizations we fund hear from us again the following year.
