About THE SING ME A STORY FOUNDATION

The Sing Me a Story Foundation (EIN 45-2872153) is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity based in Woodbury, Minnesota that combines child-authored stories with the talents of songwriters and musicians to create original songs for children served by hospitals, hospices, schools, and other youth-serving organizations. The organization operates an online platform where partner organizations submit stories, volunteer songwriters compose and record songs, and families and supporters can access the finished recordings.

In recent years the foundation has expanded its reach with a Composition Program (launched 2022) that engages school bands, orchestras and choirs, and continues to add child-authored stories and multiple song recordings to its online library. The organization has been active in media and community partnerships through 2024–2025 and reported operating revenues and activity on publicly available Form 990 filings (most recent filings cover tax year 2024).
