Since 2014, Gord Bamford and the Gord Bamford Foundation have donated $200,000 to MusiCounts to support school music programs, the largest donation ever received from an artist in MusiCounts’ history. The Gord Bamford Foundation has donated to over 63 organizations—with initiatives ranging from music, education, health care, and sports—and has raised over $4 million to date. Bamford has also supported the MusiCounts Teacher of the Year Award, performed at MusiCounts Band Aid Program celebrations, and the Foundation has started music therapy programs in half a dozen children’s hospitals.
