To expand to locations outside of New York City

Resonant Bodies Festival was founded in 2013 to support individual artists, to catalyze the creation of new vocal music, to expand the audience for new vocal music, and to challenge and transform the role of the vocal recitalist.  Funds will be used to expand, for the first time ever, to locations outside of New York City: Melbourne, Australia (May 2017), Los Angeles, California (February 2018) and Chicago, Illinois (April 2018). By adding these new geographic regions to the Festival they hope to expand the global network created by RBF for artists to inform, inspire, and enrich one another.

$40,000 to support the increased distribution of its Launch Boxes Program.

Rise Above Foundation was established in 2009 to provide youth in foster care with enriching activities, opportunities, and experiences. Rise Above gives youth in foster care access to opportunities that boost their physical, mental, social, and academic wellbeing. Since it began, the organization has provided over 13,000 Massachusetts youth with additional funding that allowed them to participate in extra curricula activities like summer camp, being a part of the football team, joining the school band, taking driver’s education classes or studying abroad in college. Rise Above also support young adults who grew up in foster care and are aging out of the system, as they transition to the next phase of their lives without DCF support.  Its Launch Boxes support youth at a critical moment of transition, providing them with the basic household items and resources they need to live independently, “launching” them into adulthood set up for success.
