The Cleveland-based Kulas Foundation was established in 1937 and provides grants to various aspects of music (such as musical education, institutions and performances) in the Greater Cleveland Area. The Kulas Foundation supports activities and institutions they feel

Mr. Elroy J. Kulas and Mrs. Fynette Hill Kulas would have found pleasure in supporting if they were still alive. We are grateful that the Kulas Foundation supports The University of Akron School of Music’s Kulas Concert Series.
