About Born Creative

With community support, every student can have the opportunity to learn and grow through music, regardless of their family's financial situation.

Our Story

Born Creative was founded in 2020 with a simple yet powerful vision: to make music education accessible to every student, regardless of their family's financial situation. Our founders, a group of music educators and community leaders, witnessed firsthand how financial barriers were preventing talented students from pursuing their musical dreams.

We started with a small pilot program in our local community, helping just a handful of families get the instruments their children needed. The impact was immediate and profound – not only did these students thrive musically, but their families felt supported and their schools could expand their music programs.

Today, Born Creative has grown into a comprehensive program that serves hundreds of families and schools across the region. We've developed two distinct pathways – our Direct Funding Program (Pre-imbursement) for those who need upfront assistance, and our Reimbursement Program for those who have already made the investment in music education.

Our mission extends beyond just providing instruments. We're building a community where music education is valued, supported, and accessible to all. Every instrument we help provide represents not just a tool for learning, but a gateway to creativity, confidence, and lifelong joy.
