Janis Ian The Pearl Foundation Guitar Pick from 2021 fundraiser item

The Pearl Foundation (named after Janis Ian’s mother, Pearl) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charitable foundation. It was formed after the Janis Ian Online Auction, through which Janis and her fans raised over $73,000 to fund college scholarships for returning students. That money was used immediately to fund a perpetual scholarship at Goddard College, Pearl’s alma mater. Shortly after, Janis and her partner Pat formed the Pearl Foundation, in order to continue the spirit of hope and charity that imbued the online auction.

Mission Statement: We believe that ignorance is deadly, and knowledge is the greatest gift you can offer. We also believe that people are essentially good, and those who have extra resources through talent or birth are often moved to help others not so fortunate. Through education, we can change people’s lives and make the world a better place.

We remember that Janis Ian’s mother Pearl, suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, was given a new lease on life because of her time at Goddard College’s program for returning students. We aim, in our own small way, to provide that “new lease” to all our participants.
