Our Crowdfunding Groups
Who are we? 
Duquesne University’s National Association for Music Education Chapter #159 (NAfME) is a collegiate organization for music education majors at the Mary Pappert School of Music. The organization offers professional development opportunities throughout the year for students, including workshops, professional speaker presentations, and the main opportunity being the annual Pennsylvania Music Education Association (PMEA) Conference.
What we want to do!
Last year, our organization was fortunate enough to send 25 students to the PMEA Conference. Through the help of our Crowdfunding campaign, we were able to keep their individual cost under $100. We hope to continue these efforts this year and send 40 members to the conference, keeping the cost affordable.
Why a PM
EA Conference?
The PMEA Conference is a way for students to have professional development opportunities including speaking to music educators across the state, participating in professional workshops, talking to vendors about music education resources, and attending ensemble performances.
What will donations go towards?
Through our own fundraising efforts and membership dues, we have previously raised funds for approximately 25 students to attend the PMEA conference. However, since over 40 students have shown interest in attending the conference this year, the donated funds from this campaign would allow for 15 additional students to attend. The total cost of accommodations and registration for 40 people comes out to about $6470. Your donations would go towards conference registration and hotel accommodations!
