Song Summit Foundation℠
Born from the Park City Song Summit and driven by music's profound impact on healing and wellness, the nonprofit Song Summit Foundation was created to uplift musicians of all ages and their communities.
With a strong focus on youth, the Foundation leads the Summit Rising program, providing emerging musicians with mentorship, resources, and a platform to share their art. Beyond the festival, our commitment extends year-round, uniting the community through music-driven events that inspire, educate, and highlight the transformative power of music.
The Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting wellness initiatives at the annual Song Summit music festival, ensuring that artists and passionate fans are cared for—mind, body, and soul.
By fostering wellness and empowering communities through music, Song Summit Foundation is shaping a future where artists and audiences alike can thrive, connect, and heal through the universal language of song.
OUR MISSION
Song Summit Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to harnessing the power of music to transform lives through wellness and education. By empowering communities and inspiring creativity, we foster healing, promote learning, and create meaningful impact.
OUR VISION
To create a world where music serves as a universal bridge for wellness, connection, and empowerment.
