Our fund is made possible through generous donations, grants, mission partners, fundraising events, SmugMug purchases, merchandise sales, and ticket sales. We fund numerous full and partial financial and merit scholarships each year, which may include private lessons, session fees, and/or musical instruments, allowing us to bring music education to serious minded musicians, regardless of their financial backgrounds.

In 2024, we awarded scholarships valued at $46,000 to 24 students!

The Rockit Live Foundation, driven by a 20-year commitment to accessible music education and community engagement, has proudly relaunched its free “LIVE TO ROCK” after-school music enrichment program at Red Bank Middle School (RBMS), a successful initiative from before the pandemic. Spearheaded by Founder and Executive Director Bruce Gallipani, with enthusiastic support from Principal JT Pierson and Superintendent Dr. Jared Rumage, and swift approval from the Red Bank Board of Education, the program offers weekly sessions led by Rockit Academy instructors and Gallipani himself. Welcoming students of all experience levels, the curriculum introduces music genres, vocal techniques, instruments, and music history, with the aim of a final performance, all entirely funded by the Rockit Live Foundation’s Scholarship Fund.
