    Please Note: You must be a resident or a public space within the state of Utah to apply. We are unfortunately unable to serve those outside of the state at this time due to organizational capacity.

    If you have any questions at all during this process, please reach out to Dylan Thomas via email at: dthomas@mundiproject.org

  • Individual/Family Application

  • Program Overview

    As a part of Mundi Project's mission to actively break down socioeconomic and generational barriers by providing quality music experiences for all, the organization provides donated, used pianos to families and individuals who would not otherwise have access to quality, acoustic instruments. The process begins by completing the following application. Once received, Mundi Project staff will review applications on a rolling basis to determine preliminary eligibility.

    Once an applicant passes the initial screening, Mundi Project staff will schedule a Zoom interview with the Applicant and Learner to hear more about how a piano will benefit their lives. If applicants are accepted, they will be enrolled in our Piano Bank Pay-What-You-Can or Piano Scholars Program. More specific information is given in the application below.

    If an instrument is placed with an applicant, the applicant will be asked to provide photos, videos, and a short thank-you note demonstrating how the piano has impacted their lives.

    We recommend that applicants and learners review the written questions here before filling out and submitting the online application.
