• Applications can be submitted any time throughout the year.

Santa Barbara Bowl Instrument Fund ensures that lack of an instrument doesn’t prevent a child from learning to play music. The Instrument Fund came about in direct response to the recurring needs of local schools and arts education programs.

• Generous funding was received from the Elaine F. Stepanek Foundation and and the Mosher Foundation.
