History

Established in 2001, the Florida Fellows program recognizes individuals whose generosity supports the future of the Florida Federation of Music Clubs. A contribution of $1,000 to FFMC’s Operating Endowment Fund may be made by an individual or given in honor or memory of someone special. Each honoree becomes part of a lasting legacy of support for music throughout Florida.

​
