MusiCanBand Aid Grants

   Beginning May 1, 2007 elementary, secondary and separate schools across Canada will be eligible to apply for 2007/2008 Band Aid Grants of $10,000 each toward the purchase of new musical instruments.  Schools are selected by a MusiCan committee based on the greatest need in keeping with criteria that include: economic need, inventory and condition of instruments, number of students, dedication of school staff and overall impact the grant would make within the school and the community.  All applications must be received by August 1, 2007 to be considered.
   Band Aid Grants are a component of MusiCan, the music education program
of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), now celebrating its 10th anniversary.  Since 1997, CARAS has donated close to $2 million towards school music programs, impacting nearly 100,000 young Canadians from coast to coast.  Band Aid musical instrument grants allow school music programs to continue to exist, grow and provide students with the opportunity to reach their musical potential. These grants are not intended to replace the efforts of school boards, teachers or parents but rather they strive to augment them.
