Why is MFS important to Adrian?

“The Musical Fund Society is a hidden gem among Philadelphia’s arts nonprofits. With over 200 years of supporting musical performances, musicians, and enthusiasts, the organization is now on a mission to highlight its invaluable contributions to the musical community in Philly. This includes substantial institutional grants for innovative projects by other arts nonprofits, individual artist grants for local Classical and Jazz musicians, and an ever-expanding list of benefits for its members. I am honored to serve on the board of directors for MFS and look forward to spreading the word about the Society’s invaluable support for our local community.”
