VISION
To provide and support opportunities for music education and appreciation for Albertans
MISSION
To promote the advancement of music education in Alberta through participation and/or sponsorship
The Alberta Music Education Foundation (AMEF) is a registered charity providing funding and innovative ideas for music education in your community. Through its status as a registered charity, it accepts donations and seeks funding for programs which it runs, co-sponsors, or supports in the province. Formed in 1997, AMEF exists because of the belief that the study and performance of music is an integral and necessary part of well-rounded life and vibrant communities. It provides funding, ideas, and resources to Alberta's community music students and teachers. AMEF is a partner with many other non-profit and charitable music groups in Alberta and we provide a lobbying force at the Provincial level for support of music programs. We organize, in part, an annual music conference which members can attend, as well as other regular programs and granting. In addition, all members receive quarterly newsletters and are eligible to participate in AMEF programs.
