MusicFirst has announced a new partnership with PledgeCents a crowdfunding platform specifically for PreK-12 that enables teachers to fundraise for needs such as music services for their schools. PledgeCents allows teachers to quickly and easily create personalized campaign pages to reach their fundraising goals. Using PledgeCents, teachers will be able to apply all funds raised to purchase and renew MusicFirst and its array of music learning and creation tools for their students.

“Our partnership with PledgeCents will allow music teachers and parents to fundraise for the MusicFirst Online Classroom and share engaging, cloud-based music education resources with students regardless of budget limitations,” shares Director of MusicFirst, Dr. James Frankel. Andyshea Saberioon, CEO and Co-founder of PledgeCents, adds, “By working together we can streamline the process so music teachers can deliver incredible learning, discovery and creation tools through MusicFirst’s Online Classroom without touching the music budget.” PledgeCents has simplified the process of creating successful fundraising campaigns. Teachers simply sign up and select the MusicFirst software tools they need. PledgeCents then creates a personalized fundraising campaign page that is easily shareable with students’ parents, family, and community members. When the fundraising goal is met, a MusicFirst team member will deliver the school’s MusicFirst account to the teacher.
