Once approved for affiliation, the Foundation will help you set up your chapter and will provide our approved logos, forms, and templates for making instrument loans.  In return, we ask that you use our forms and follow our policies, as updated from time to time. Either party may terminate the affiliation at any time, for any reason.  Instru­ments or funds donated to an affiliated group or association are, and will remain at all times, the property of that group or association.

We do require that our affiliates agree to adequately supervise all interactions between children and adults in connection with the Play It Forward!^® program and make certain that conduct is suitable and appropriate at all times.  We also ask that each affiliate agree to release and hold the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation harmless from any obligations or liabilities that may arise in connection with their Play It Forward!^® program activities.

The Fiddle & Pick Musical Heritage Center of Middle Tennessee, the Big Bend Bluegrass Association (Big Bend Bluegrass Festival, Alpine, Texas), the Kentucky School of Bluegrass and Traditional Music in Hyden, Kentucky, the Backbone Lake Promotion Association (Backbone Bluegrass Festival, Strawberry Point, Iowa), and the Earl Scruggs Center of Shelby, North Carolina are some of our program affiliates.  They are doing a great job of helping to place instruments into the hands of deserving young people who want to play bluegrass music.
