Storytelling & Reporting
We partner with each program we fund to tell real stories of impact and sustain music programming for therapy and mental health. Storytelling is a priority for Music Heals and we intend to use these stories and statistics to emphasize the impact you are having, which will in turn help us build community and above all else, increase donations.
Please note that if you receive funding from Music Heals, you will be required to submit (1) brief mid-year report in the Spring and (1) year-end report in the Fall.
New & Pilot Programs
Occasionally Music Heals may consider matching funds for a new program. New programs must also be attached to a registered foundation or charity. If you are a new program seeking partial funding and have another donor willing to support a portion of the program, please fill out the form below. Responses will be kept on file and reviewed on a casual basis. If you would like to inquire more please email info@musicheals.ca
Other Considerations
Considerations will also be made to programs that use music to benefit mental health and wellness. Please send a letter to info@musicheals.ca describing the details of the program.
