Aboriginal Music Manitoba builds capacity with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts
Posted by Alan Greyeyes

Aboriginal Music Manitoba (AMM) recently received support from the Canada Council for the Arts’ Capacity Building Program for Aboriginal Arts Organization. The grant helped AMM develop a Policy Guide and send two board members to the Folk Alliance conference for professional development.
The Policy Guide includes a set of governance and operational policies along with a Personnel Policies and Practices Manual. It’s very comprehensive and brings the organization one step closer towards its operational goals.
The trip to the Folk Alliance conference gave Kim Wheeler and Teresa Clifton an opportunity to learn how other non-profit music organizations operate, how smaller presenters are overcoming challenges, the booking process employed by other presenters, and how publicists support the presentation efforts of other organizations.
This is the second project that AMM has completed with the support of the Capacity Building Program for Aboriginal Arts Organization. In 2010, the organization completed a strategic plan, identified mission and vision statements, renamed and rebranded the organization, and developed the www.ammb.ca website.
Please visit canadacouncil.ca for more information about the Capacity Building Program for Aboriginal Arts Organization.
