Support Us.
The Mama Foundation for the Arts is a non-profit organization whose mission is to make a joyful noise, to uplift the Black musical treasures of gospel, jazz, and R&B, and to heal and inspire through the power of collective music making.
With your generosity, we are able to provide tuition-free programming and sustain ourselves as a Harlem legacy institution where an intergenerational and interracial community is promised to “Be Seen and Be Heard” in the fullness of their experience.
Join the Mama family today and help continue this legacy!
Thank You to Our 2025 Donors!
