Giving Tuesday – Amplifying Our Collective Voices

Dear NS Choral Community,  

#GivingTuesday is two weeks away!  This global movement has unleashed the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. This is a time when Canadians, charities, and businesses come together to celebrate giving and participate in a variety of activities that support charities and nonprofits; to thank, help, give, show kindness, and share what they have with those in need. 

Every act of generosity counts. Everybody has something to give in their own way. 

Among the many worthy charities in your lives, including your own singing organizations, we humbly ask that you consider the NSCF in your giving plans, and the benefits your gift will have on our community at large. Your support directly impacts our ability to create and offer meaningful programming, provide services and resources, advocate and raise the profile of our beloved art form, and increase participation in collective singing of all kinds across our province.

This year the NSCF is focusing our campaign on children and youth as we work to grow the voices of our future Nova Scotia choral community. 

  • Donate to help us enrich and reignite a culture of singing in the schools by investing in the development of new initiatives to create training programs and resources for music educators, and bringing choral artists and clinicians into schools in rural communities across Nova Scotia.  
  • Give generously to lift up our provincial youth choral programming with our “Friends of Nova Scotia Youth Choir” campaign, or the Children’s Chorus of Nova Scotia.  
  • Help us ensure our programming is accessible, through our Choir Camp Bursary and Scholarship Funds.  

We commit to making every dollar count.  On our Canada Helps Online Donation Platform, you may choose to direct your donation to an initiative or to general programs and services.  You may also choose to set up a monthly or annual donation – these gifts are especially helpful for us for sustainability and planning for the future. 

We sincerely thank you for your consideration, and for any contribution you can make.  Stay tuned on social media for stories about our impact and how your support matters. We wish you all – our singers, leaders, audience members and any choral enthusiasts – the very best for Giving Tuesday, and in this upcoming holiday season. 

DONATE to the NSCF

Here’s to Song!
