Chords of Hope

Founded in 1993, the mission and purpose of The Michael Bolton Charities has been to respond to issues which adversely affect children and women at risk. These include domestic and street violence, poverty, abuse, neglect, homelessness and human trafficking. Collaborations on innovative solutions, initiatives and programs have helped to provide critically needed services responding to immense challenges and compelling needs -- making a difference in individual lives.

The Michael Bolton Charities has benefited more than 100 organizations in cities across the country -- highly regarded and accredited agencies providing direct services to children and women at risk. The Charities' recent initiative includes a breakthrough music therapy program serving students exposed to domestic violence - "Beyond Trauma-Youth Music Therapy" is having a profound, positive impact on the lives of students striving to overcome tremendous obstacles of trauma and violence. The MBC has also been instrumental in launching a Family Justice Center in Michael's home town of New Haven, CT.
