Nurturing the next generation of talent, MAF supports the MAJACE Music Festival, awards scholarships to college students, and donates instruments to aspiring musicians. Our mission also includes expanding access to expert education in STEAM fields for students and adults through both online and in-person programs. We proudly invest in programs that cultivate leadership, build confidence, and enrich lives through entertainment and the arts—empowering individuals to grow through creativity and purpose.
MAF offers scholarships to support students pursuing higher education or enrollment in arts-driven programs. Whether it’s college, conservatory, or specialized training in music and the arts, our goal is to expand access for talented individuals who may lack the financial resources to pursue their goals.
We provide quality instruments to aspiring musicians and school programs in underserved communities. These donations help eliminate cost barriers and ensure that students and organizations in need have the tools to participate fully in music education.
At the Marcus Anderson Foundation (MAF), STEAM is reimagined through the lens of the Arts and Technology. Our programs are designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and innovation by giving students and adults hands-on access to tools that blend artistic expression with modern digital technology.
We offer both online and in-person workshops, helping participants explore music, visual arts, media, and tech in ways that feel relevant, exciting, and empowering. While we use the STEAM acronym, our focus remains clear: amplifying the “A” through arts-infused technology education, especially in communities where creative resources are limited or underfunded.
Through programs that build confidence, creativity, and leadership, MAF supports youth and young adults in developing life skills through the arts. These initiatives focus on nurturing potential in communities with limited access to arts-based leadership training.
MAF partners with schools, nonprofits, and local organizations to bring dynamic, arts-based programming into communities that need it most. From creative workshops and live music engagements to educational events and cultural experiences, our outreach efforts are designed to ignite inspiration and expand access to the arts and technology—right where people live, learn, and grow.
Each year, a select group of students are invited to participate in an exclusive mentorship experience personally led by Marcus Anderson. This hands-on program offers unique access to behind-the-scenes insights, professional development, and real-world exposure to the music and entertainment industry. It’s a rare opportunity for emerging talent to be guided by a world-touring artist, entrepreneur, and visionary who believes in paying it forward.
