2024–2025 Donors and Piano Inspires Legacy Circle Members
With Gratitude
We are filled with gratitude for all who believe in and support our mission.
The generosity of our community strengthened every area of our work, advancing teacher education, enriching publications, expanding community programs, and building a foundation for long-term sustainability. The gifts we receive are more than financial support; they represent a shared belief in the power of music to educate, connect, and inspire.
Every accomplishment shared in this report reflects the collective vision, trust, and dedication of our community. Together, we are ensuring that the study and sharing of piano education continues to inspire and enrich lives for years to come.
The Frances Clark Center gratefully acknowledges the individuals and organizations whose generosity made this year’s work possible. We extend special gratitude to the founding members of the Piano Inspires Legacy Circle, whose vision and leadership sustain the Center’s mission and ensure a vibrant future for piano education.
