Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust has awarded Phoenix Chorale with a ‘game-changing’ grant for $283,000.
From 2023-25 Phoenix Chorale, the Grammy-winning professional choral ensemble based in Phoenix, participated in Piper Trust’s ATLAS program.
Over recent Seasons, the Chorale has been actively evolving to meet community needs, holding a vision to diversify its programming and experiences to serve an expanded population and delight multiple generations.
Learnings from its ATLAS experience resulted in the strengthening of Phoenix Chorale’s capacity, by implementing a new Operations Manager role; this restructuring will foster increased program offerings and will enable other staff to further nurture and grow the Chorale’s community of audience and donors. A search for this position will commence in the next weeks.
Phoenix Chorale is also partnering with fundraising expertise to bolster and expand its institutional support.
Says Executive Director Nicole Belmont, ‘We are thrilled that the Trustees of Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust appreciate the value and potential of the world-class Phoenix Chorale in 2025 and beyond’.
