Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday.
GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners - nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals - to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Across Canada and around the world, GivingTuesday unites communities by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another. |

Help keep Alberta singing!
More than 400,000 Albertans sing in choirs. They sing for a long list of reasons, including the opportunity to build communities, meet new friends, improve one's overall health, develop new skills, and partake in an artistic and expressive endeavour. A variety of choirs welcome choristers at all levels, of all ages, and in all areas of the province; these include community-based children's choirs, non-auditioned adult choirs, church choirs, neurodiverse choirs, vocal jazz ensembles, and symphonic choirs. The role of Choir Alberta is to support choral music in all its forms across the province.
Choir Alberta offers that support through a proven and innovative roster of programs, projects, and services. These include professional development opportunities for teachers and conductors, workshops for choristers, regional choral festivals, the provincial honour choirs, fundraising opportunities for members, concerts featuring world-renowned artists, and the choral lending library of 200,000 octavos. Every year, thousands of singing Albertans directly benefit from the offerings of Choir Alberta.
Donations and sponsorships are vital to Choir Alberta's financial stability, and we invite you to consider investing in the organization. There are a number of ways contribute:
In recognition of Choir Alberta's 50th Anniversary in 2022, we are currently holding a special fundraiser called Ensemble 50. Through Ensemble 50, donors contribute $50 per month for 50 months (or they may also make one-time or annual gifts).
