The Aaron Copland Fund
In keeping with his lifelong devotion to contemporary music, Aaron Copland created the Fund and bequeathed to it a large part of his estate. The Fund was officially announced to the public in 1992. The Fund’s purpose is to encourage and improve public knowledge and appreciation of contemporary American music.

The fund operates three grant programs and also grants permission for the use of Copland’s music.

The Colburn Foundation
The Colburn Foundation was established as an independent foundation in 1999 and endowed by Richard D. Colburn who was a businessman and philanthropist. Mr. Colburn passed away in 2004, but the foundation continues to be governed by a board of directors. Our mission is to promote a healthy and vibrant classical music community, primarily in Southern California, and to make grants to artistically excellent organizations for the performance and presentation of classical music, as well as for music education and the training of musicians.

The Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation
