  • Sponsoring other nonprofits working in music education. The Supernova Alliance contributed donations to the Alpha Institute of Music, a historically important music school working with students in Jamaica at the heart of the foundation of ska music. The partnership also assisted the school with some smaller donations after a hurricane to help them repair damage. Though the school is in Jamaica, students from the school do travel to participate in the Alliance activities at the Supernova International Ska Festival. The school is officially sponsored by St. Mary's located in Ohio in the US and the donations were made to that organization to be managed for the school.
