We Need Your Help.

• LVMC weathered the storm of 2020 where more than one-third of nonprofits closed or are at risk of closure, but we face continued headwinds. 
• Our costs have increased +50% since 2019. LVMC has absorbed these costs while increasing community impact and production value. 
• Facility costs at our performance home of UNLV’s Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall have increased +23% since 2022. One Mainstage Concert now costs $20,000+ to produce. 
• We pay at or above market rate to our musicians, artists, and professional staff. We believe all deserve a living, thriving wage while supporting the arts. 
• Our members not only give 13,000+ volunteer hours annually, each member also contributes $300+ of their own funds annually via dues in addition to their indirect costs of concert attire, music printing, and transportation. 
• LVMC believes financial ability should never be a barrier to membership so we cover $3,000+ of member expenses annually from our operating budget.
• Ticket Sales account for less than half of our annual budget.

Although not specifically a “gay” chorus, ~85% of members identify as LGBTQIA2+. ~40%+ of members have or are currently experiencing homelessness, addiction, mental and physical health issues, abuse, or incarceration. ~40% of members identify as BIPOC with age diversity ranging from 18 to 76. Membership has grown +300% since 2021 from 32 to 100+ members with consistent double-digit growth each concert cycle, showcasing our work is needed more than ever. Ryan Duff, Artistic Director, often says “When you are part of something special, you are special”. This sentiment is desperately needed by both our members and patrons, be it seeking fellowship after coming out or an inspirational respite from the chaotic world. 

Your Support Changes Lives.

• A first-time LVMC patron commented "I've never seen anything like this in my life and was transfixed, moved, altered."
• Another first-time patron shared LVMC inspired them to return to therapy.
• Dozens of LVMC members commented that "I can't be my most authentic self anywhere else except when I'm with my LVMC family."

• Each year in partnership with the Clark County School District, we co-produce "Sing Out: A Tenor/ Bass Choral Festival" intended to bolster confidence and lifelong love of singing in our community's young people. 
• Our Community Concert Series allows thousands of folks to experience the arts free of charge accross the Las Vegas Valley.
