Take the next step… get involved with OMIA today and enhance the lives of students by expanding the scope of learning!
The OMIA Foundation works to enhance the lives of students by expanding the scope of learning. The Foundation offers Michigan’s students, teachers, and classrooms:
- Scholarships
- OMIA lessons,
- OMIA songs, and
- a unique educational experience.
We also offer graduates and musicians a unique opportunity to further their music education and personal professional endeavors. The Foundation is proud to offer its services to the teachers, students, and administrators of Michigan’s K-12 classrooms free of charge.
We are committed to service excellence. The Foundation is fully licensed as a non-profit in the State of Michigan. For awhile, we kept a license to solicit charitable donations in Michigan. That was great, but we realized that we were exempt from licensure for everything we did. If you think we are in error, please contact us. We have implemented research and development as well as giving full attention to the Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Children’s Trust Fund, Michigan Education Association, and Michigan Legislature.
The Foundation continually strives to strengthen our connections to the community and those who use our services. We welcome stakeholder feedback and input . We work along side teachers to streamline service delivery.
We hope you enjoy this website and find it useful. For some it will be the beginning of our connection with you, while for others who already know us, we hope it will deepen your understanding of the Foundation and its activities. Whether you wish to access our services or support our activities we sincerely welcome you. We believe in our mission: to enhance the lives of students by expanding the scope of learning.
