Where to Donate to Make a Real Impact in Communities

When people ask “Where should I donate?”, what they’re really looking for is something real, something they can feel, see, and connect to. At the Up with People Foundation, donations go directly toward projects that bring people together through music, creativity, and shared experiences.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
Harmony Jam Sessions
Simple, powerful gatherings where people come together to learn and sing one song — no auditions, no pressure. Just connection. Strangers walk in and leave feeling like part of something.

Camp UpBeat
A two-week experience for young people to step away from screens and into creativity, confidence, and real friendships — using music and the arts as the foundation.

Voices Rock Presents: The Music of Up with People
A unique program where alumni and new participants come together to rehearse, reconnect, and perform the music that shaped generations — bringing the spirit of Up with People back to life on stage.

What makes this different is simple, you’re not just donating to an organization. You’re supporting real moments: people singing together, building friendships, and creating experiences that stay with them long after.
