Biamp Awards 2026 Grants To Five Youth-Focused Nonprofits

Biamp has announced the five recipients of its 2026 Charitable Giving Grant Program, supporting nonprofit organisations that use audiovisual technology, music and creativity to enrich lives and strengthen communities.

The 2026 grant recipients are Youth Music Project, Art & Drama Centre Theatre (ACT), The Texas Supremacy of Music & Arts Conservatory (TSMAC), Ethos Music Center and p.

Selected by the Biamp Charitable Leadership Committee, each organisation will receive a grant to support programmes that introduce underserved young people to audio engineering, live production and audiovisual technology through hands-on music and media education.

"Supporting organisations that build community and inspire creativity through music and the arts is a meaningful cause at Biamp," said Rashid Skaf, Biamp President, CEO, and co-Chairman. "This year's grant recipients are giving young people real, hands-on access to the audio and video technology behind live performance and media production — skills and confidence that carry far beyond the stage. We’re proud to help them expand that access in their communities."

Youth Music Project provides tuition-assisted rock, pop and country music education, including sound engineering, music production and video production classes taught in its dedicated music technology classroom, “The Lab”, as well as a teen live sound engineering camp.

Art & Drama Centre Theatre (ACT) gives underserved youth in North Texas — including many students on the autism spectrum — hands-on instruction in live sound operation, microphone setup, acoustics and digital mixing from degreed audio technicians on staff.

The Texas Supremacy of Music & Arts Conservatory (TSMAC) immerses students in live sound production and event management through programmes such as its Power Camp and Summer Marching Band Camp, reaching more than 799 students in 2025 alone.

Ethos Music Center offers hands-on training in sound, audiovisual technology and media production through its Community Hub and Broadcast Media initiative, giving youth direct experience with recording, mixing and live broadcast equipment.

p supports youth experiencing homelessness in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown through its 'p Jam' music programme, offering recording opportunities in a sound-insulated studio and mentorship from local musicians.

The grants form part of Biamp’s wider commitment to supporting organisations that use technology, music and the arts to create opportunities for young people and strengthen their communities.
