Since my sorority's founders based us out of a love for music, we primarily focus our attention on the College of Music and music programs in local primary and secondary schools. Some things we have done this year:
*sponsor and mostly run local and state Solo-Ensemble competitions, band competitions, etc.
*provide scholarships to college students and grants for non-collegiates to pay for private lessons, go to camps, etc.
*Donate money to keep struggling depts. alive
*volunteer at the local nursing homes
*Christmas caroling
*Volunteer ushering for events on campus
*Bring elementary students to campus for a day and show them why music an important part of life
*Volunteer at local schools who often can't afford to have full time arts teachers there to help with plays, music events, etc.
*Food drives for the local needy
*etc.
As a very small sorority, we don't have much money, so most of our efforts are focused on what we can do, rather than how much $ we can give.
