Toronto Arts Council’s Community Music Making recognizes the role that non-professional music organizations play in creating a dynamic and culturally engaged City. This program provides funding to support the Toronto-based activities of non-profit community choirs, opera, orchestras, and ensembles that are committed to building community through music making processes such as creation, workshops, concert production, and other related activities. The City of Toronto provides the funding for this program through its Community Partnership and Investment Program.
The program has a three-year funding cycle, with applications accepted every three years. Applicants submit a complete application in the first year and those approved for funding submit mid-cycle reports in years two and three.
