The MTNA Foundation Fund serves "to advance the value of music study and music making to society through programs that nurture the creation, performance, study and teaching of music, and support the professionalism of music teachers." (MTNA.org)

The MTNA Foundation Fund supports many programs for the benefit of the independent music teacher. Among the programs it supports is the Composer Commissioning program, and the awards program including the Local Association of the Year award, the State Affiliate of the Year award, Teacher of the Year award, and the Student Competitions awards. It also supports grants in these areas: Teacher Enrichment, State Affiliate, Local Association, and Program Enrichment.

NDMTA members contribute to the MTNA Foundation through the honoring of one of their deserving members as a Foundation Fellow. NDMTA has maintained high rankings in the area of percentage of members who donate to the Foundation in the nominated Foundation Fellow's name. When the goal of $1000+ is reached, the Foundation Fellow is recognized at the Gala at the MTNA National Conference with a complimentary ticket to the Gala and a MTNA Fellow pin and certificate.
