"In a hundred to a hundred fifty years from now, I believe that people will recognize the music of Gershwin and Ellington as the Classical Music of our time.

There are some things that America has given culturally to the world that other countries recognize as truly American that we as Americans don’t recognize. They are Baseball, Blues and Jazz. "

Making Our Case

In making the case for funding on behalf of American Songbook Preservation Society, we have included materials from our grant request to the National Endowment for the Humanities to build and develop our website to enable us to fund our organization and programs.

Without the financial help of others, we will be unable to become the organization we want to become for all Americans and for the world.

There is no guarantee we will receive the funding from the NEH, and if we do, we will still need additional funds to complete our project and ensure our success in fulfilling our mission and endowing our organization in perpetuity.

If you are an individual Donor, Foundation, Corporation, or concerned Citizen and want to assist us in achieving our goals, please read on, and make a donation.

Thank you for your support!

Ronald Kaplan
Executive Director
