The Rabun County Music Festival Association is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization which is committed to supporting Rabun County students who wish to further their education in the fields of visual or performing arts.
The RCMFA acquired 501(c)(3) status as a tax exempt organization in 2002 with a mission of awarding scholarships to graduating high school students in Rabun County who wish to further their education in the fields of visual or performing arts. Tax exempt status enables the Board to seek contributions at higher levels. Holding performances at the Rearden Theater makes it possible to attract larger audiences, and the numbers of season ticket holders and contributors have increased. Continued increases in ticket sales and contributions have made it possible to award more scholarships and to increase the scholarship amounts.

It is exciting to know that we can be a part of both preserving the local musical heritage and educating regional communities to the diversity of music from cultures worldwide. The initial support and interest has been very positive with demonstrations and volunteer consultation. We are looking forward to partnering with individuals and organizations to realize the full scope of our mission, including
