WHY DONATE?
… And We Were Heard is a 100% volunteer organization serving underrepresented composers and ensembles in the field of orchestra and wind band. Our mission is becoming too big to support on our own and we need your help!
Where does my donation go?
… And We Were Heard donations fund three branches of our mission:
Upkeep and maintenance on our website and online presence
Conference presence (such as our Midwest Clinic appearance) and physical promotional materials
The purchase of a set of recording equipment to check out to collaborating ensembles who do not have access to expensive equipment or audio engineers
As our mission and reach expands, we plan to apply for grants to support individual projects. Grassroots donations from individuals and institutions like you helps us keep the lights on here.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
