About Us:

The Tack Flute Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Each year the Committee organizes the Tack FluteFest in the fall, which features masterclasses, flute choirs, a flute recital, and exhibits by local music stores.  

In the spring we sponsor annual flute competitions for local middle and high school flutists.  In memory of George B. Tack, the Committee also annually loans professional-quality Haynes flutes to deserving young flutists who need a better flute and cannot afford one.

If you are interested in supporting local flutists by donating to our organization please contact us today. Online donations can be completed here. 

​The Tack Flute Foundation is led by board members who volunteer their time to this organization. All donations cover the costs of events, awards, and flute repair, which directly benefit Kansas flutists.
