IBMA Foundation 2019-2020 Year End Report

In a season of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other national challenges, we are more grateful than ever for the bluegrass music community and for those who choose to help us build a brighter future for bluegrass by supporting the IBMA Foundation.
