Help us restore the music the world almost lost

For centuries, countless composers and culture-shapers — especially artists of color — were excluded, miscredited, or erased from musical history. Their manuscripts were lost, their legacies fragmented, and their stories nearly forgotten. The Niets Foundation is working to change that.

Your support helps:

• Recover and preserve historically overlooked musical manuscripts
• Digitize archival materials for public access
• Create educational resources for scholars, teachers, and young learners
• Support research initiatives that uncover forgotten musical histories
• Build a global archive that honors the full spectrum of voices who shaped musical heritage
• Make these resources accessible to the world through public-facing digital collections

Together, we can ensure that brilliance long pushed to the margins is finally recognized, celebrated, and shared with the world.
