DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Valley Winds is a volunteer wind ensemble, offering professional-level performances to a diverse community throughout the Pioneer Valley. This fiscal year, the Valley Winds provided seven concerts in venues across the local area - six of these were free to the public while one charged a minimal fee to help cover the venue expense. As a result, the Valley Winds concerts for this fiscal year reached an audience of almost 1000. These concerts were made possible through the generous donation of time and effort by the Valley Winds members. It is estimated that, for each of the seven concerts, each of the involved 5-50 members, donated 10 hours of their valuable time. With an estimated value of $25 per hour, the donated service time is valued at $55,000.$0$18,235
