The Louise P. Zanar Fund has been a MusicLink Legacy Partner since 2010, currently supporting the DC MusicLink program at the Bravo level, with annual donations of $10,000. The fund was established in memory of Louise P. Zanar, a gifted writer, musician, local philanthropist and labor lawyer. The fund provides grants to organizations in the Washington DC metropolitan area to provide underserved students with guidance and instruction in music, theater, writing, culinary arts, and other forms of creative expression.

Students receive lessons in keyboard, percussion, and voice in our DC MusicLink Shining Stars and enjoy performing every summer for the fund. We personally thank Elizabeth McGrail, Molly Daniels and the board of the Louise P. Zanar Fund for their ongoing support of DC youth in the arts.
