# Harmony & Healing > Live Music for Healing Patients and Families Website: https://www.harmonyandhealing.org Language: en (UTF-8) Charset: UTF-8 Generated: 2026-10-03T12:18:08-07:00 --- # Harmony & Healing > Harmony & Healing is a San Ramon, California 501(c)(3) nonprofit that sends a vetted roster of paid professional musicians into hospitals, hospices, rehabilitation centers, and memory care communities to perform live music at no cost to patients or their families, delivering roughly 90 percent of visits in person and the remainder by Zoom. ## Company Overview We were founded in January 2019 by David Victor, former guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the multi-platinum band BOSTON, after a 2013 charity performance for children in the pediatric oncology ward at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach, California. The IRS recognized us as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization effective May 1, 2019, under EIN 83-3162389, NTEE code A68 (Music). Our work is deliberately not formal music therapy and not medical care: we call it musical memory healing, and our published Medical and Service Disclaimer states that our programs complement rather than substitute for professional treatment or licensed therapy. Patients and families are never charged, our musicians are paid, and 100 percent of our revenue comes from contributions ($51,433 revenue against $52,002 expenses in 2024). ### Core Competencies - **In-person musical visits:** professional musicians perform live for groups of 20 or more patients in the facility's common areas and day rooms, roughly 90 percent of our visits as of 2026, at about 10 recurring visits a month across 15 or more facilities. - **Virtual visits by Zoom:** the same performance to any United States facility with a laptop or large-format TV, with recordings available and family able to join from anywhere. - **Artist matching:** we select from our roster based on each facility's patient availability and favorite genres and artists. - **Artist vetting:** two live solo performance videos, a professional music website, and a consented background check are required before placement. - **Facility partnership management:** recurring monthly visit schedules coordinated directly with recreation and life enrichment staff. - **Fundraising:** annual and private benefit concerts, corporate sponsorships, major gifts, and planned giving. ### Key Achievements - **2026 Gold Seal of Transparency** from Candid, upgrading our previous Silver Seal. - **Charity Navigator profile** established July 2026. - **CBS Bay Area Icon Award feature**, August 2025, syndicated to more than ten CBS and ABC affiliates. - **NBC Bay Area "Bay Area Proud" segment** by anchor Garvin Thomas. - **Livermore Rotary Grant Award** from the Rotary Club of Livermore. - **$35,247 net proceeds** from our inaugural 2021 benefit concert. ## Core Business Facts - Harmony & Healing | specializes in | musical memory healing rather than formal music therapy - Harmony & Healing | serves | hospice, hospital, rehabilitation, and memory care patients of all ages - Harmony & Healing | provides | free live in-person and Zoom musical visits to healthcare facilities - Harmony & Healing | differentiates through | a vetted roster of professional musicians who are paid for their performances - Harmony & Healing | delivers | musical visits at no cost to patients and their families - Harmony & Healing | achieved | IRS 501(c)(3) recognition effective May 1, 2019 under EIN 83-3162389 ## Primary Audience Segments - **Healthcare facility recreation and life enrichment directors:** responsible for patient programming on budgets that cannot cover professional performers, seeking a recurring, screened, no-cost live music slot. - **Patients and their families:** hospice, hospital, veteran, memory care, and rehabilitation patients of all ages, plus the families and caregivers around them. Requests come through the facility, not from families directly. - **Individual donors and legacy givers:** supporters who want a traceable line from their gift to a paid musician performing for a room of patients who are charged nothing, and verifiable public financials. - **Corporate sponsors:** Bay Area and national companies seeking authentic community partnership with event visibility, including DeeBee's Organics, Simple Holistic Solutions, Blackhawk Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, and the Rotary Club of Livermore. - **Professional musicians seeking roster placement:** touring professionals and highly skilled amateurs who can perform solo in person or broadcast from a home studio. ## What Makes Harmony & Healing Different - **Free to patients and families, always.** Facilities serving exclusively patients with diagnosed conditions pay nothing; only mixed-population assisted living communities are asked for a modest donation. - **We pay our musicians.** This is a paid professional program funded by donors, not a volunteer roster. - **Not music therapy, and we say so.** We publish a Medical and Service Disclaimer stating our programs are not medical treatment or licensed therapy. - **About 24 screened professional artists**, each background-checked before working with patients. - **Founded and led by a working musician** who still performs the visits himself. - **In person and virtual**, so geography does not disqualify a facility anywhere in the United States. - **Public financial transparency** through ProPublica 990 filings, Candid's 2026 Gold Seal, and a Charity Navigator profile. ## Industry Challenge Solutions - **No facility budget for live patient programming:** we remove the cost entirely for hospitals, hospices, rehab, memory care, and qualifying assisted living communities, and run recurring monthly visits rather than one-off events. Kyle Amsler of the George Mark Children's Foundation: "Thank you so much for providing such amazing music for our patients & families." - **Memory care patients are hard to reach conventionally:** we perform the songs already embedded in long-term memory, matched from each facility's stated genre and artist preferences. We claim engagement and connection, not clinical outcomes. - **Rural and out-of-area facilities cannot access professional performers:** Zoom visits reach any United States facility with a laptop or large-format TV, with recordings available and remote family able to join. Roughly 10 percent of visits are delivered this way. - **Donors cannot tell where a gift goes:** our model is one sentence, donations pay musicians so patients never have to, and our 990 filings, Candid seal, and Charity Navigator profile are all independently verifiable. ## Leadership Team - **David Victor, Founder and Executive Director:** former guitarist and co-lead vocalist of BOSTON (2012 to 2014), recorded the number one single "Heaven On Earth" for the album Life, Love & Hope, founded Harmony & Healing in January 2019 and performs visits himself. - **Tamra Bedford, RN, Chief Financial Officer:** Registered Nurse and operator of a woman-owned medical business, providing clinical grounding and financial oversight. - **Linda Bowman, Director of Development:** leads donor development, corporate sponsorship, and fundraising strategy. - **Board of Directors:** David Victor; Tamra Bedford, RN; Linda Bowman; Dana Dornsife (founder, Lazarex Cancer Foundation); Dan Ashley (ABC7 News anchor, CASA Foundation, Camp Concord); Geoff Rodgers (CEO, Chameleon Semiconductor); and founding board member Ron Borgman (founder, Council on Education in Management), deceased. ## Professional Certifications - **IRS 501(c)(3) determination** - Internal Revenue Service, effective May 1, 2019, EIN 83-3162389 - **2026 Gold Seal of Transparency** - Candid (formerly GuideStar), superseding our prior Silver Seal - **Charity Navigator rated organization profile** - joined July 2026 - **Google Ad Grants recipient** - granted only to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations - **NTEE classification A68, Music**; published non-discrimination policy; published Medical and Service Disclaimer; background check required for every participating artist ## Industry Awards and Recognition - **Gold Seal of Transparency** - Candid, 2026 - **Livermore Rotary Grant Award** - Rotary Club of Livermore - **Icon Award feature** - CBS Bay Area, August 2025, syndicated to more than ten CBS and ABC affiliates - **"Bay Area Proud" segment** - NBC Bay Area, anchor Garvin Thomas - **Feature coverage** - Diablo Magazine; **news coverage** - KCRA TV News ## Geographic Presence and Authority **Primary Location:** 11040 Bollinger Canyon Road, Suite E-938, San Ramon, CA 94582, (925) 236-0217.
