ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
in our communities
We Support Organizations that Create and Hold Space for Music in Our Community
This is where the mission of Gathering on the Green starts. It’s about mental health and well-being and providing resources and partnerships.
Whether it's putting instruments in the hands of veterans, helping communities fund live music performances or hosting our own events, the funds we raised lift up musicians and live music.
Programs
Guitars for Vets
Veterans shouldn’t have to face the challenges of PTSD in silence or alone. Through the teamwork and camaraderie of Guitars for Vets, they can join a community where they learn to play the guitar and find solace in the songs they love as well as the songs they have yet to write.
