The National Trumpet Competition gratefully acknowledges the gifts and grants from its generous sponsors that make this ambitious program possible. NTC sponsorship almost evenly breaks down in to 3 parts; grants from instrument manufacturers, private gifts, and application fees, kept as low as possible. NTC has been granted tax-exempt, non-profit, 501 (c) 3 status and is recognized by the IRS for its educational activities. The leadership of NTC, its staff and board all serve this endeavor as volunteers.

Inaugurated in 1992, NTC has provided performing opportunities, master classes, exhibition concerts, historic and commercial exhibits and an educational, supportive environment for nearly 3,000 students. To date, these students have represented 40 states as well 6 foreign countries. Nearly 100 Artist Faculty members coming from universities and symphony orchestras around the nation have donated their time and talents to judge these fine young players. Artists are chosen from among many of the trumpet world's greatest performers. NTC audiences have been inspired by performances of Canadian Brass, Grammy Award Winner Aruturo Sandoval, Maynard Ferguson, Phil Smith, Tim Morrison, Jens Lindemann, Alan Vizzutti and a host of others, many of whom waive their considerable fees to support NTC.

NTC has many tax-exempt sponsorship opportunities available if you would like to support the next generation of the nation's finest young artists. Please contact Dr. Dennis Edelbrock if you would like to know more about supporting NTC with a prize or division sponsorship. Your thoughtfulness and generosity will be greatly appreciated.
