Triad Musicians Matter - GUITAR RESETTLEMENT PROJECT

GUITAR RESETTLEMENT PROJECT

North Carolina is one of many welcoming states for refugee resettlement.

Being a musician and songwriter I know how healing and inspiring music can be. We've gifted 24 guitars to date. Our refugee recipients have come from Afghanistan, Cuba, Ukraine, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo so far and we continue to expand our reach.

We are spreading musical hope and inspiration one guitar at a time.

JR Luther from SE Systems in Greensboro, NC volunteers his time and knowledge restringing and refurbishing all donated guitars to prepare them for gifting. We give all persons donating a guitar a tax receipt as this program is part of our 501c3 non profit, Triad Musicians Matter.

If you are part of a community refugee support group, church group, CWS, or NCACS, or individually sponsoring refugees settling in the Triad area and would like information about our program please fill out the form below and we will get back to you. Thank you.

This is Hamid with our 1st Guitar Resettlement!

The Guitar Resettlement Project has become an extension of Triad Musicians Matter and broadened its mission.

At present, our scope of donations, instruments or money, because of our bylaws are limited to distributing to resettled families in the Piedmont Triad. We hold GRP monetary donations separate from our general funds. All donations, whether an instrument or financial donation, all are tax deductible.

If you are considering donating a guitar, depending on its location, I can pick it up. If you need to ship one, you can write the shipping costs off your taxes and send it to: Triad Musicians Matter, PO Box 4454, Greensboro, NC 27404-4454.

If you'd like to donate money for guitar cases, lessons, capos, or whatever else is needed, you can donate from the page on our website. Please note that it's for the Guitar Resettlement.

If you are working with a refugee family and think they would want a guitar for a family member, please call: 615-244-6893 and leave a VM.

Thank you in advance for blowing up what started as a little idea but is going to change a lot of lives!!! If you need to reach me or you have any questions, feel free to call!

Thank you again!!!
