ACHF Arts Access
We hope to achieve the following outcomes through our Giving Voice Saint Paul Chorus: 80% of audience members responding to survey report that they better understand the value of those with dementia and their care partners as a result of the concert(s). 90% of singers responding to focus group and survey questions report a feeling of joy, purpose and/or a sense of community as a result of singing with Giving Voice. 100% of new Giving Voice ? inspired choruses report finding value in the shared learnings and information provided by GVI. We will utilize a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques to measure outcomes and determine program impact for the Giving Voice Saint Paul Chorus. Specific tools and data points will include tracking the number of singers participating in the chorus, twice-annual focus group feedback and participant surveys to singers, audience attendance numbers, feedback from audience surveys, number of new dementia-friendly choruses started, and feedback from choruses involved in meetings, conferences and other shared learning environments.
GVI singers reported the following outcomes: 54% increased their musical knowledge; 59% enhanced their vocal techniques; And 69% built stronger social connections. In addition, over 1,000 individuals viewed GVI's concerts online during the grant period and many shared comments expressing high satisfaction with both the concert quality and the content.
