Melodic Caring Project

MELODIC CARING PROJECT (MCP) BRINGS HOPE, CONNECTION AND THE POWER OF MUSIC TO PEOPLE BATTLING ILLNESS AND ISOLATION AROUND THE WORLD.

AT MCP WE BELIEVE IN TRANSPARENCY, COMMUNITY AND INCLUSIVITY. OUR VISION IS TO PROVIDE LOVE, ENCOURAGEMENT AND HEALING THROUGH MUSIC TO EVERY PERSON IN NEED AND INSPIRE OUR COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE TO DO THE SAME.AFTER 13 YEARS, WE BELIEVE, MORE THAN EVER, IN THE POWER OF OUR MISSION AND THE NEED FOR INTENTIONAL EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND CONNECTION IN OUR HURTING WORLD. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD SUFFER FROM ILLNESS AND ISOLATION MAKING OUR MISSION MORE ESSENTIAL THAN EVER.SINCE 2010, WE'VE USED THE POWER OF MUSIC AND PERSONAL CONNECTION TO PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT TO OVER 41,000 PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS BATTLING ILLNESS AND ISOLATION AROUND THE WORLD. WE PROVIDE ONGOING MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND OTHERS BATTLING ILLNESS. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY CONNECTING PATIENTS WITH MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS, CELEBRITIES, AND OUR TEAM OF ROCKOLOGISTS OFFERING A RANGE OF PROGRAMS INCLUDING 1:1 MUSIC THERAPY SESSIONS, PERSONALIZED LIVESTREAM PERFORMANCES, WEEKLY GROUP MUSIC & ART THERAPY SESSIONS, ROCKSTAR SONG REQUESTS AND OTHER SPECIALTY PROGRAMS. OUR PROGRAMS ARE FREE TO ALL PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF INDIVIDUAL DONORS, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE GIVING AND SPONSORSHIPS.THIS PAST YEAR WE EXPERIENCED 630% GROWTH IN OUR 1:1 MUSIC THERAPY SESSIONS, 107% GROWTH IN OUR GROUP MUSIC AND ART THERAPY SESSIONS, AND 720% GROWTH IN OUR ROCKSTAR SONG REQUEST PROGRAM. BEST OF ALL, THIS GROWTH AND IMPACT IS COMPLETELY SUSTAINABLE AND SCALABLE. WE ARE GROWING TO MEET THIS GROWING NEED.WITH THE RISE IN HOSPITALIZATIONS AND THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH CRISIS, WE'VE TRIPLED THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS OFFERED AND EXPERIENCED 415% GROWTH IN PROGRAM IMPACT.
