The IRS issued a determination recognizing Joyful Note Foundation as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), effective November 18, 2024. This is a dated federal determination on file. It is not a grant award, a current registry check, or program funding.

We do not perform for people. We make music with people.

Joyful Notes framework
Specific notes, not big promises.
When the work begins, each note can say what happened, who joined, and what comes next—while keeping the person larger than the record.
Who joined
Confirmed musician, volunteer, and community participation—never inflated.
What comes next
A concrete invitation for music, care-community, or volunteer interest.

Joyful Note is building its first programs, public updates, and responsible giving infrastructure with care.
Make the invitation as clear as the record.
Contact choices distinguish care-community invitations, musicians and volunteers, support, partnerships, research, and general questions. Messages reach the Joyful Note project team.
Program framework
A clear approach before a big promise.
Joyful Note is building person-first music gatherings with familiar songs, live guitar and vocals, storytelling, humor, participation, songbooks, and a transparent record of what is actually happening.
