Ways to Support

The Bob Moog Foundation is an independent 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Our projects include our hallmark educational program, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, through which we teach the science of sound through music and technology, and the preservation of the extensive Bob Moog Foundation Archives.

Our funding to deliver these projects comes from donors like you.
