HOPEWELL VALLEY CHORUS
Financial Information
Hopewell Valley Chorus expenses include music purchases and royalties, insurance, honoraria for the director and accompanist, rental of space for rehearsals and concerts, payments to instrumentalists, printing and mailing. Our annual fund drive supports all of these costs as well as a $1,000 scholarship, annually awarded to a musically gifted high school senior from the Hopewell Valley who plans to pursue music studies at the college level.
Roughly half of the chorus' income derives from ticket sales, with another quarter coming from member dues. The balance depends on the generosity of members and concert patrons along with friends and businesses in the community.
A $1,000 grant from the MetLife Volunteer Ventures program supported the 2007 Spring into Song. Additional funding for the chorus has been made possible in part by the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission through funding from the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the New Jersey Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment of the Arts.
Endless hours of donated time from members and friends also help defray costs.
