Advocacy for Small-Budget, Volunteer-Led Choruses

This one-page resource can help any choral organization make advocacy efforts part of its work.

Public policy affects the work that you do every day, whether or not you receive government funding. Lawmakers’ actions influence your patrons’ charitable giving, the rights of your employees, intellectual property rights, the economic health of your community, and more.  Your efforts to monitor, support, oppose, and even shape legislation can do much to ensure your chorus’s success. If they are going to support you, policy makers need to understand the impact your programming is having in your community.
