Grants

The Lawrence Civic Choir has benefited in the past from grant money provided by the Kansas Arts Commission, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. In the current fiscal crisis, these sources of funding may not continue to be available, making our remaining funding sources ever more critical to our success as an organization.

Auction Items

Every other year, the choir holds a cabaret concert and a silent auction is part of the event. The proceeds from the auction go to support scholarships and choir operations. As the only mixed-voice choral organization in Lawrence not affiliated with the University or one of the local churches, we fill a vital place in the vibrant Lawrence arts community.
