Welcome to the Music Therapy Impact Fund (MTIF) — as a charitable fund at the North Valley Community Foundation, we are dedicated to expanding access to music therapy in our community. Music therapy is grounded in evidence-based research showing how music can spark meaningful change in the brain, nurture emotional well-being, and strengthen connection through shared music-making. Through partnerships and donor support, we bring the healing power of music to hospice patients, adults with Parkinson’s disease, and others who benefit from its unique impact. By providing program funding and individual scholarships, we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy, comfort, and transformation that music can bring.
