MTNA Endowment Fund

Chairperson: Mina Hirobe-Perry (MTNAfoundation@njmta.com)

The general endowment fund was created in 1994 to support operation and support programs of MTNA.

We in New Jersey take special pride in the Frances Clark-Louise Goss Endowment Fund and the Marvin Blickenstaff Endowment Fund, which will be a perpetual investment ensuring the continuation of MTNA Foundation grants and programs for the future.

Frances Clark-Louise Goss Endowment Fund

The enormous impact Frances Clark and Louise Goss of New Jersey have made on modern piano teaching is recognized through this endowment, which funds teacher enrichment grants. Frances Clark and Louise Goss were the two of the founding members of the New Jersey Music Teachers Association.

Marvin Blickenstaff Endowment Fund

Marvin Blickenstaff's many contributions to the field of piano performance and pedagogy are recognized by the establishment of this fund by his many friends and colleagues. A long-time MTNA member, he has made a significant impact on teachers throughout the country through his teaching, lecturing, performing and publishing. This endowment supports grants to teachers and students.
