Why Is This Project FREE to schools?

aWFPA-MARTIN_DOCOur Classroom program is provided free to schools because of the fundraising efforts of the WoodSongs Front Porch Association (WFPA 501-c-3) membership. Most of the funds are generated by the yearly WoodSongs Gathering. We would love for you to become a member of the WFPA, but it is not necessary in order to use the educational programs we provide.
