The Edith Lando Charitable Foundation
For over two decades, Vancouver’s own Edith Lando Charitable Foundation has been a staunch supporter and advocate for BC-based programs and projects that build self-esteem, further personal agency, and offer meaningful skills development opportunities for youth from all walks of life.
Over the years, the Foundation has played a leading and local role in supporting arts-based learning programs for vulnerable young people, commissioning and developing new operas on topical social issues, and funding direct access to innovative mental health resources for youth, as but a few recent examples.
Music on Main is grateful to the Foundation for its continued support of The Kessler Academy, which, each year, builds confidence, artistic ability, and team-building expertise for a broad cohort of young string players drawn from throughout BC.
Thank you to Roberta, Jacquie, and Gabrielle for your continued generosity, and for your efforts to celebrate and embody Edith Irene Lando’s incredible work and legacy.

The Diamond Foundation
Since its founding in 1984 by Jack, z’l, and Gordon Diamond, The Diamond Foundation has also created powerful opportunities for Greater Vancouver-based youth.
Through its grantmaking, the Foundation encourages young people to develop skills, build self-esteem, and forge the relationships that help to prevent and mitigate future socio-emotional challenges. By directing its philanthropy to community programs and initiatives that address formative needs for young people at critical life stages, the Foundation creates healthy and sustainable communities over the longer term.
The Diamond Foundation has long played a pivotal and prominent role in Vancouver philanthropy. Over time, the Foundation has supported numerous evidence-based projects undertaken by charitable organizations in the arts, health and welfare, social services, the sciences, and conservation, with a particular interest in initiatives that strengthen Jewish community life. Here at Music on Main, we’re grateful for their continued support of The Kessler Academy, which will return for a seventh consecutive cycle in August.
