Why support the VCM?
| The Victoria Conservatory of Music is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to enrich lives through music in a thriving community accessible to all. Our mission is realized through the power of giving, fueled by the generosity of our community of donors, corporations and government agencies. In fact, this philanthropic support makes up 30% of our overall operating revenue, enabling us to keep tuition as affordable as possible for all students, provide financial assistance for students who qualify through our scholarship and bursary programs, offer music outreach programs for children and seniors, and music therapy programs for individuals of all ages and abilities. Simply put, we would not exist without your support. |  | |||
