The Be Frank Foundation received funding to support their unlimited scholarship program, ensuring that every child can participate in their Creative Music Conservatory (CMC), a transformative one-week summer camp, and the Fall 2025 after-school programs. 35% of the participants receive partial or full scholarships, averaging $200 per applicant. These scholarships remove financial barriers, giving students access to expert instruction, ensemble experiences, and music production opportunities. By investing in scholarships, LTAC provided 75 students with the support they need and helped foster creativity, confidence, and lifelong musical engagement.

The Be Frank Foundation enhances Durango’s creative economy through educational opportunities and public performances that engage residents, students, and visitors. Collaborations with Durango 9-R Schools, Fort Lewis College, and the Community Concert Hall (CCH) showcase youth talent at events like the BFF Orchestra Festival (May 8 at CCH), Creative Music Conservatory Recital (Aug. 8 at CCH), the winter concert series (Dec. 8-12 at 10 area schools), and participation in Noel Night. Held each December, Noel Night unites the community with shopping, dining, and festivities, providing a perfect stage to highlight student performances and support local businesses.
