Our Recipients

At the heart of Balint Charities are the children, schools, and organizations we are privileged to support. Through Barb’s Books and Fran’s Bands, we provide books and musical instruments to schools and early childhood programs where additional resources can make a meaningful difference.
We work with educators, schools, and community organizations that understand the importance of giving children access to reading and music from an early age. Each recipient represents an opportunity to put a book into a child’s hands, place an instrument within reach, and open the door to discovery and learning.
We are grateful to the schools and organizations that partner with us and to the donors whose generosity makes these connections possible. Together, we are helping give more children the opportunity to read, learn, create, and grow.
