Friends of Music

Invest in the Future of Music

Join the Friends of Music – Empowering the Next Generation of Artists

At Pepperdine University’s Fine Arts Division, music is more than a program—it’s a lifelong journey of passion, discipline, and artistry. Our Friends of Music community plays a crucial role in making this journey possible by providing students and faculty with the resources they need to achieve their dreams in the classroom, on the stage, and across the world.

Your generosity directly fuels life-changing opportunities for our young musicians, ensuring they have the tools, mentorship, and experiences necessary to thrive as performers, composers, and educators.

Make Twice the Impact – Limited-Time Matching Gift

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Judy Jenkins, every donation made to the Friends of Music Fund will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $2,500.

• Your $500 donation becomes $1,000.

• Your $1,000 gift doubles to $2,000.
