Our $150,000 Launch Campaign
Help launch Discovery Sound Garden and break down barriers in music. Your support can transform lives and democratize the industry.
Breaking Down Our $150,000 Goal
This first-year raise launches DSG’s mobile studio, funds pilot classes, covers insurance and space rentals, and ensures programming stays accessible through a sliding-scale model.
What This Unlocks
- A fully operational Mobile Studio (bike + recording kit) ready for parks, schools, and community sites
- 8–12 recording sessions for emerging artists and community members (sliding-scale + scholarship options)
- 2 pilot education cohorts (8-module programs) serving youth, adult learners, beginners, and neurodivergent participants
- 4–6 free or pay-what-you-can workshops to build community access and reduce barriers to entry
- 2 small community showcases or listening events that celebrate participants and build local momentum
- School-year readiness for outreach starting in the fall (curriculum materials + mobile studio scheduling)
- Program accessibility built in through scholarships, subsidized seats, and no one turned away for inability to pay
- Safe, sustainable operations with insurance coverage, storage/security for the mobile unit, and compliant admin systems
Your Impact
Access Without Barriers
Your support keeps DSG affordable, funding teaching artists, materials, and space so cost is never the reason someone can’t make music.
Recording Opportunities
Donations and grants power our mobile studio, bringing recording access directly to communities, schools, and artists who need it most.
Affortable Pathways to Growth
We don’t just teach skills, we build confidence and momentum, creating real pathways for youth and adults to learn, create, and be heard.
A City Where Talent Meets Opportunity
When you give, you’re not just funding equipment, you’re launching opportunity, reducing barriers, and helping build a more creative, inclusive NYC.
