The IBMA Foundation supports programs and initiatives fostering the growth of bluegrass music. We help donors create a legacy for future generations of musicians and fans by connecting resources to projects that focus on bluegrass music-related arts and culture, education, literary work, and historic preservation.
Board members are expected to attend board meeting, be knowledgeable, participate in committees, make a financial commitment, attend functions, be an advocate, exercise confidentiality and discretion, discharge fiduciary duties, and avoid conflicts of interest.
