Ringle, Wis. (PMN)—Less than 60 days after being officially designated as a national charity for polka music, Polka America Corporation launches its first grant program. The "Instruments for Disadvantaged Children" grant program is the first of a string of endowment programs to be offered by the organization in support of polka music across the country.

The program was announced in a press release on April 22, 2008.

Michelle Genrich, President, said, "We have just started to reach out to the community in support of polka music at all levels. With programs like this, we anticipate the communities and businesses will recognize the importance of supporting our grant programs and other programs specifically designated to support children in music."
