Our Mission
The Gibson Gives | Gibson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) committed to introduce, inspire, and amplify the power of music through guitars across all generations, genres, and genders.
Our VISION
To make music matter to more people in more ways . . . one guitar at a time!
What We've Achieved
For over 125 years Gibson has been shaping, contributing, and supporting sound through their guitars…across many generations and genres of music. In 2002 the Gibson Foundation was officially established (as a 501(c)3) and has since provided thousands of guitars and related value-in-kind and donations in excess of $46M. As we look to the future for both Gibson Brands and the Gibson Foundation, we have an opportunity and an obligation to re-build with an aligned approach going forward. With that in mind, we transitioned our Gibson Foundation name to Gibson Gives to better reflect the vision and mission.
In 2025 alone, Gibson Gives donated product totaling over $2,677,000 in retail value and provided over $409,000 in cash grants to partner organizations and scholarship programs.
100% of your donations go towards giving the gift of music.
