The Grants Committee is charged with researching new sources of funding to complement existing fundraising projects that support our scholarship programs, youth concerts, and musical outreach programs for all ages. The Grants Committee is a new undertaking for CSOL, Inc. and is still in the first stages of exploring the pertinent information about and contacts with family, small business, and corporate foundations required to obtain grants or matching grants. With music programs being eliminated in many schools, CSOL, Inc. feels it is essential now more than ever to pursue new avenues in order to keep music in the lives of our young people and the greater community.
