Ukrainian classical musicians support fund 

REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 18.03 — 16.04

Hi. Kyiv Contemporary Music Days speaking.


On March 18, 2022, we created the Fund for Support of the Ukrainian Academic Music Community for the time of the full-scale military invasion of Russia into Ukraine.

Here we publish a report on the first month of the Fund's work.

1. ACTIVITIES AND PROCESSES

Briefly on what the KCMD team did to ensure the effective operation of the Fund

1.1. FUNDRAISING: THE UNPLAYED CONCERT

Together with the team of the Unplayed Concert, KCMD organized a charity online concert of prominent Ukrainian classical musicians who left their homes due to the war. 

We broadcasted the concert from the empty main stage of the Lviv National Philharmonic.

About 65% of the donations collected by the Fund during first two weeks took place on the day of the concert and in the next three days after.


1.2. FORMING THE FUND BOARD

To ensure that the Fund's decisions are balanced and applications are considered democratically, we have set up a board to evaluate applications and agree on assistance. We also have built the board's work processes. 

We are grateful to each member of the working group for their willingness to invest their time in the work of the Foundation. 

1.3. PROCESSES ADJUSTMENT

In the first days of the Foundation's existence, we dealt with, among other things, the following:
