Invest In Success
Cantare Children's Choir is known for the exceptional way it fosters growth in our young singers so that each child can be nurtured in their musical, educational, leadership, and social development. Cantare's many successes are built not only by the dedication and efforts of our singers, but also on the unwavering support of our families, volunteers, community groups, governmental agencies businesses, and corporations.
As a community children's choir program, we rely on the support that is so generously provided to us by individuals, businesses and corporate donors. If you or your business is interested in helping to enrich the lives of Calgarians, please consider making a donation to our program. Our needs range from bursaries and music library acquisitions (in memory of a loved one or in honour of a special occasion!) to capital acquisitions and tour funding.
Cantaré Children's Choir is incorporated as a non-profit organization in the province of Alberta and is recognized by Revenue Canada as a charitable organization. As such, we issue Income Tax Receipts for gifts and charitable donations. Please contact our office to coordinate your donation.
We invite you to make an 'investment in success' through your contribution to one of our funds:
Artistic Director’s Discretionary Fund
Supports the general operations of the choir and enables many creative ideas to come to fruition... this includes commissioning composers to write new music for the choir, enabling artistic collaborations, recordings, touring, as well as bolstering recruitment and outreach to bring more children to Cantaré.
Uniform Fund
After 27 years of iconic service, the time has come for Cantare to retire the iconic “Cantare Green” dresses. Thanks to your generous support in our 2022-2023 season, we were able to move forward with the first phase of our uniform makeover, we are THRILLED to have partnered with our friends at HENKAA to source the first batch of new formal uniforms for our flagship ensemble: Cantare!
Please consider a donation to our Uniform Fund to help us reach our goal of $10,000 to purchase our second batch of NEW Cantare uniforms and continue this transformation!
Music Library Fund
Enables the purchase of music resources for all of our ensembles. Sponsor music to celebrate an occasion, in memory/honor of a loved one, or just because. Music library donors are listed alongside the pieces they sponsor in programs they are performed on as well as recognized on the sheet music used by our choristers.
Have a specific piece in mind? Let us know!
Not sure what piece you want to sponsor? We’ll contact you!
Performance Fund
Enhances the experience for singers and audiences through the addition of instrumentalists, purchase of new instruments, staging, lighting ...to name a few.
Bursary Fund
Enables choristers with limited financial resources to participate in the choir experience from rehearsals to retreats and touring. Even the smallest amount can go a long way in making music more accessible for a child.
