To attract students, we conduct a needs assessment in collaboration with <br />local schools in underserved areas before establishing a new chapter. This <br />assessment, led by the Musical Empowerment national office, ensures that <br />there is genuine demand for free music lessons. Once a chapter is <br />established, the leadership team appoints a Publicity Chair who <br />coordinates outreach efforts through school newsletters, informational <br />sessions, and other avenues to maximize exposure among potential <br />participants. Each chapter, along with the national office has its own social <br />media pages and utilizes these social media channels for ongoing <br />promotion of activities and more. ME has a strong digital presence, which <br />includes weekly social media posts (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, <br />YouTube), a monthly newsletter, and a robust website. <br />Simultaneously, recruitment of mentors is facilitated through campus club <br />drives, leveraging student organizations to engage individuals interested in <br />joining Musical Empowerment as mentors. <br />In addition, benefit concerts serve as a powerful promotional tool, forging <br />partnerships with local organizations invested in our mission. These events <br />not only showcase participant talents but also raise awareness and attract <br />media coverage, significantly amplifying our message and expanding our <br />community outreach. <br />By strategically combining these promotional initiatives, we aim to enhance <br />visibility, foster engagement, and ultimately magnify the impact of our <br />programs within the community. <br />Please describe <br />efforts by your <br />organization to <br />generate revenue. <br />Musical Empowerment has diversified its funding sources since 2019 with <br />the aim of establishing sustainable financial streams and implementing <br />proactive strategic plans to achieve our goals by the end of 2024. <br />- Individuals: W e are actively recruiting alumni (former college mentors) to <br />become monthly donors, with a target of 100 alumni donors by the end of <br />2025. <br />- Corporations: W e are forging partnerships with businesses in each <br />community where our chapters operate—North Carolina, New York, and <br />New Hampshire—with the goal of securing corporate support. <br />Events can sometimes demand more resources (time and money) to plan <br />and execute than the funds they generate. Therefore, we carefully select <br />event opportunities to ensure they align with our financial and <br />organizational priorities. <br />Resumes of artists/administrators <br />2024_Staff_Bios_1.pdf <br />Board of Directors List <br />Board_of_Directors_2024_1.pdf <br />IRS Tax Exemption <br />501c3_Verification_Letter_-_Musical_Empowerment_2.pdf <br />W ork Samples <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 59E2ECCA-0E2A-4C34-94C1-200D77851766
