ACDA-MN

You can guarantee a vibrant future for choral music in Minnesota!

As a supporter of the F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund of the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota, you make something special happen - ensuring the outstanding tradition of choral music in Minnesota.

Since our first scholarship awards were presented in 1997, and thanks to the generosity of people like you, the F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund has provided 695 scholarships totaling over $360,917 to young and emerging conductors for professional development and graduate education. Including the Alice T. Larsen Memorial Scholarship Fund which supports female Minnesota choral directors or music educators who are pursuing graduate degrees in either choral conducting or music education. Scholarship are also awarded to needs-based students (grades 4-10) to participate in ACDA-MN's statewide honor choir program, and as travel grants to choirs performing at the annual ACDA-MN State Conference.  

We are deeply grateful to members of ACDA-MN and other supporters of choral music whose faithful giving has allowed us to invest in the choral life of Minnesota through the FMC Endowment Fund.  

As a non-profit organization we rely upon your generosity to sustain the FMC Endowment Fund scholarship programs. Large or small, gifts are gratefully received. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.
