CreatiVrole Project community support in Cuba

A SEPARATE 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITY

The CreatiVrole Project

Practical resources, education, cultural exchange and creative infrastructure for artists, musicians, educators and communities.

Why it exists

Years of working alongside Cuban musicians revealed a consistent contrast: extraordinary training and creativity, but limited access to instrument parts, recording tools, teaching materials, reliable power and other basics that help creative work continue.

The CreatiVrole Project grew from those long-term relationships. What began as informal help became a structured nonprofit focused on documented needs, locally appropriate solutions and responsible follow-through.

How it relates to Havana Music Tours

A separate organization

The CreatiVrole Project operates independently as a Colorado 501(c)(3) public charity. It is not part of the tour product and does not replace the travel program.

5% of tour revenue

Havana Music Tours contributes 5% of tour revenue to support the nonprofit’s community and cultural initiatives. Travelers are not required to donate separately.

Optional direct giving

Guests who want to give beyond that contribution may donate directly. Charitable gifts may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law; retain your receipt and consult your tax adviser.

Practical, community-informed support

  • Musical instruments, parts and creative resources
  • Arts and music education materials
  • Recording tools, computers and practical equipment
    • Infrastructure that supports rehearsal, teaching and gathering
    • Cultural events and fair compensation for artists
    • Program coordination, documentation and responsible reporting

    Support is based on specific, verifiable needs rather than bulk distribution. When practical, the project purchases locally and coordinates through trusted local partners so resources are useful, documented and connected to the people who requested them.

    Relationships that continue after the trip

    The artists, educators, families and cultural leaders guests meet are part of an ongoing network. The nonprofit provides a clear way to sustain those relationships through practical support while keeping charitable work distinct from the travel experience.
