Choir fundraising
What could your choir fund if each participant raised $650 a year?
Sheet music for the season. A reliable rehearsal piano. Accompanists, guest clinicians, and concert uniforms students can borrow. What would you fund first?
Plan your fundraiser
Choir fundraising possibilities
More music. More instruction. More opportunities.
- Annual funding example
- $26,00040 participants × $650 per year
Put that toward sheet music, accompanists, piano upkeep, and concert uniforms students can borrow.
Buy music and keep the rehearsal room ready.
Purchase sheet music and folders, tune or repair the piano, and repair risers. If a larger equipment purchase is needed, put money toward its replacement.
Pay for accompanists and guest instruction.
Bring in an accompanist for rehearsals and performances. Invite a guest clinician to work on vocal technique, ensemble sound, or preparation for assessment.
Keep shared concert uniforms usable.
Buy missing sizes, replace worn pieces, and cover cleaning and repairs so more singers can borrow concert clothing that fits.
Get singers to a festival or workshop.
Cover registration, buses, and meals. For an overnight trip, include lodging. Use current quotes to decide how much of the trip your program can fund.
Separate recurring needs from special opportunities.
- List everyday costs such as music, piano tuning, and uniform upkeep.
- Identify the workshop, assessment, or performance opportunity you want to add.
- Confirm the funding gap and payment dates with the people managing the choir’s finances.
