MAPS Grammy Award

Ambassador Sponsor – $500

You can help spread the word about MAPS by spending a day with the students both on stage and in the classroom and learning how MAPS works; you become a MAPS Ambassador. You will get to know the poetry and songwriters and the way they create their poems and songs. You will learn about their lives and how they build bridges across life’s many divides. Your support can make it possible for us to expand the programming to new schools in new locations.

MAPS MTV Video Award

Visual Storyteller Sponsor – $250

You can help make the story of MAPS students go viral. Each MAPS concert is recorded, showing both the poets reading their work and the musicians performing the corresponding compositions; without video, only the select few people in the audience get the joy of experiencing the collaboration. Your support can help MAPS share the deep mutual respect that is built amongst the students from the urban and rural schools with countless viewers.

MAPS Billboard Music Award

Recording and Production Sponsor – $200

You can help the music and poetry students capture their songs forever. Recording the MAPS songs involves having the right equipment and engineering to record the different instruments and voices. Your support can make it possible for MAPS to provide studio time to its students to record their songs for sharing with each other and through social media and other outlets.

MAPS American Music Award

Transportation Sponsor – $100

You can help make it possible for the students to travel to each other’s schools, across state lines, in order to spend valuable time together building relationships, while creating and sharing life experiences. Your support can help fund the all-important bus and meal costs.

MAPS Poetry and Music Friend – $50

You can help MAPS ever expand its efforts to bring middle and high school students together from urban and rural settings to create poetry and music and finished songs. Your MAPS friendship can make it possible for more students to experience this great program!

Anyone giving $100 or more will receive a rockin’ MAPS T-shirt and anyone giving $250 or more will also be named on the MAPS website and social media as a MAPS supporter.
