Who We Are

GRAND STAFF 2020 is a tax-exempt fraternal organization founded in 2020 and headquartered in Linden, New Jersey. Named after the grand staff — the foundation of written music combining treble and bass clefs — our organization represents the harmony of community, education, and artistic expression.

We bring together individuals who share a passion for music and a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others through charitable programs and fellowship.
