Overview
The EChO Guitar project is an initiative that will serve many purposes.
1. Divert waste from landfills, and use the materials to build one of a kind musical instruments.
2. The proceeds from the instruments will be donated to local organizations that provide music and recreational opportunities for underprivledged children.
3. Musicians will enjoy the sight and sound of envirnmentally firendly guitars
Goals
1. Complete 24 guitars within a 12 month time frame of receiving the grant
2. Launch a mobile workshop that will teach at least 8 individuals to build their own guitar (need to purchase a used van)
3. Donate at least $5000 in cash, and instruments to local charities
To achieve my goals, I will need to purchase in bulk the non wooden materials required to build the guitars; tuning machines, fret wires, bridge pins, inlay materials, and glue.
Each guitar will need to be sold or auctioned for $300 to attain my $5000 donation goal
The Project will require a stylish new website
