The Melba Foundation
The Melba Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit memorial scholarship organization providing free or affordable music education & school supplies to those who are committed and passionate about studying music but live in underprivileged communities with emphasis on Philippines. We also strive to spread awareness for the Filipino American community and showcase their musical talents and drive to share our philanthropic message. The Melba Foundation was created in memorial of Melba DeJoya Alcazar. All concerts and events are sponsored by our generous donors as well as the incredible volunteers who believe in our mission.
The Melba Foundation offers all memorial scholarships to underprivileged students who are passionate and committed to studying music as their career. The scholarship funds tuition for private music teachers, conservatories, schools and universities chosen by gifted scholars. All funding goes towards foundation operations and scholar education and school supplies. The Melba Foundation also produces live music events and fundraisers that help rebuild churches and provide school supplies to establishments in Romblon, Romblon Philippines. Our first project helped rebuild Sawang Church, Philippines after it was destroyed by a tragic typhoon. Our last project we donated 300 notebooks to Romblon Elementary School in the Philippines.
