KEYJ FOUNDATION Fund-raiser Page

The KEYJ FOUNDATION NPC is a formally registered non-profit legacy foundation which nurtures, promotes and supports Music and Musical talent, adding a component of Mental Health Awareness.

Our focus is on community youth development, and we see the Music Industry as a growing sector and potential provider of economic benefits to our country. Our music events and mental health awareness initiatives aim to provide youth with HOPE, INSPIRATION, OPPORTUNITIES and LIFE SKILLS pertaining to music and mental health, through bursaries, music platforms to perform, guidance and support.

The Foundation aims

·       to organise music-related initiatives, events, and platforms for young musicians to express themselves through music, promoting growth & recognition and career opportunities for them

·       to promote and support mental wellness and stability through Mental Health Awareness (MHA) initiatives

·       to support the upliftment of youth and young adults, through music education, bursaries and funding

The combination of music, combined with a mental health message to inspire our foundation followers, feels imperative as our youth struggle during these chaotic times of the covid pandemic, violence & crime, negative social media, climate change and the fourth industrial revolution.  Statistics in SA indicate a mental health pandemic – Nearly 10% of all teenage deaths are due to suicide, and up to 20% of high school learners have tried to take their own lives. Our non-profit foundation is committed to the development of young people in the fields of music and mental health awareness. Through our initiatives, we aim to inspire creativity and promote good mental health among young people in our community.

Sponsorship required:

To further our efforts, we are seeking funds to host music events that bring together young people who share a passion for music, while also raising awareness about mental wellbeing. In addition, we seek donations to provide music bursaries and funding to deserving students who would otherwise not have access to quality music education. Your donations will enable us to create opportunities for young people to showcase their musical talents and receive the support they need to excel. Our goal is to facilitate positive change in the lives of young people by encouraging self-expression and healthy mental practices.

We invite you to join us in our mission to support youth development in music and mental health awareness. Together, we can make a positive impact in the lives of young people in our community.

Thank you for your kind consideration and support.
