Appalachian Children’s
Music and Arts Foundation
Appalachian Children’s Music and Arts Foundation provides developmental arts education courses for children who are underserved in the Tri-state region of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio.
Appalachian Children’s Music and Arts Foundation was created on March 10, 2023 in loving memory of Nell LeMaster, Melissa Brown’s Mamaw. Nell worked with children all her life and was an inspiration of love and kindness. The nonprofit was announced on April 19th, the day Nell was born.

Where would you be without someone giving you the opportunity to experience the arts from an early age? Whether that benefactor was your mom, dad, grandparent, teacher or someone else- consider giving a small gift in their honor, as a “thank you” via paying it forward.
Your gift will be used to give children in underserved populations throughout the Tri-State area an introduction to the arts and the freedom to express themselves creatively. You can give via PayPal, Venmo, or message us for mailing information for cash/check.
