Grant Strategies, LLC is THRILLED to announce ANOTHER grant received by the Melbourne String Academy (MSA)! The City of Monash has awarded MSA the Monash Quick Response grant for Virtual Music Connect, a program designed by founder Diana Wuli to reduce social isolation for residents of aged care facilities and provide local musicians with opportunities for community engagement, income, and a renewed sense of purpose. Way to go Diana! It is a joy to write for great programs like Virtual Music Connect!

“Our collaboration encouraged and motivated me to launch Melbourne String Academy’s pilot community outreach project in Melbourne, Australia. Melanie is responsive, quick, and efficient. She immediately understood the mission and vision of the organization and was able to reflect these values in the project grants. I am incredibly grateful for her support as a colleague and friend from across the pond.” Diana Wuli, Founder, Melbourne String Academy.

Virtual Music Connect is a program of the Melbourne String Academy and is supported by the City of Monash through the Monash Quick Response Grant program.
