South Dade Music Alliance
Request For Proposal
The South Dade Music Alliance (SDMA) Program is a multi-year collective impact initiative. Our goal is to unite music and arts programming in South Dade by identifying organizations, amplifying their work and capacities, working towards collective impact, and telling the community's story. The SDMA program students will participate in different after-school and in-school music programs across 16 elementary, middle, and high schools in South Dade, Florida, where access to music education programs has been historically limited. The SDMA’s goal is that through music programming, students will gain academic, attendance, and socio-emotional learning benefits that will last a lifetime. If you’re a music education provider in the South Dade area you should definitely apply for this wonderful opportunity to scale your business and increase your impact!
