About Us

The Lost & Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up primarily of musicians volunteering their time, talent, and effort to help those in need. Founded in 1995, the mission of the Lost & Foundation is "To raise and distribute financial resources for public benefit through the power of music." Twice each year, The Lost & Foundation organizes benefit concerts featuring many of the areas best and most talented musicians to help a community cause. Generally, this is an individual or family who is faced with a dire need due to illness, catastrophe or other financially debilitating situation. The Lost & Foundation has raised and given away over $180,000 through its more than 24 major events and other efforts.

Besides raising funds through our benefits, the Lost & Foundation also provides guidance, use of materials and financial management assistance to other groups who independently organize benefits for worthy causes.

The Lost & Foundation is led by its board and supported by literally hundreds of volunteers, area businesses, musicians, artists, and people like YOU!
