Arbutus Singers Music Education Society
Program Name: Gaining efficiencies through new partnerships
Vital Sign: Arts & Culture
Total Grant: $20,000 (100% donor contributions)
The Arbutus Singers Music Education Society and the Viva Youth Choirs are partnering to find new ways to meet their mutual program objectives in this feasibility project. Each organization has unique history and characteristics but they will seek ways to merge their endeavours to provide choral singing opportunities for 300 children and youth. The project will provide a base for developing partnerships to help reduce costs, share governance and administration of programs, and diversify approaches to developing revenues. A joint concert involving both organizations will be piloted as part of the project.
