Providing tuition scholarship and bringing distinguished artists to the campus have been central to LMC’s program but have also been responsible for increased operational expenses in recent years. This case surveys the LMC’s fundraising initiatives both to raise money for student scholarships and to serve the community through artistic interaction. The reader is asked to explore the effectiveness of these approaches and to brainstorm how this organization can effectively raise additional funds for a capital campaign without diminishing yearly operational income.

The reader explores how stakeholders weigh decisions that involve balancing artistic and personnel decisions with budget sustainability and organization health.

Her albums America Again (2016) and For Lenny (2018) reflect inspiration she has drawn from both major and neglected figures in American music. Public service and social justice have been a reliable part of Lara’s musical tours. Lara has now organized a partnership with children’s rights advocate Plan International and her sponsor Yamaha. The case challenges the reader to strengthen this promising partnership and propose ideas for global reach of the program.
