Support NMAAM

Supporting the National Museum of African American Music is a chance to be part of something lasting.

Preserve Musical Excellence for Future Generations

Every day, we lose more musical genius. Master artists pass away. Irreplaceable recordings deteriorate. The scholarly understanding of musical innovation fades into obscurity.

NMAAM is the world’s preeminent institution curating the complete story of Black musical brilliance that transformed global culture–from spirituals to hip-hop, gospel to country, blues to R&B. Without your support, this excellence could disappear forever.

Your contribution directly funds:

  • Preservation of irreplaceable artifacts and master recordings
  • Educational programs elevating musical literacy for 26,000+ students annually
  • Scholarly research uncovering forgotten musical innovations
  • Immersive experiences that honor masters while nurturing emerging virtuosos

Every contribution—large or small—helps advance NMAAM’s mission: to educate, to preserve, and to celebrate the central role African Americans have played in shaping the sound of America.



By supporting NMAAM, donors and partners help carry the legacy of African American music forward—ensuring its stories continue to educate, inspire, and unite future generations.
