FOUNDED IN 1938, THE ORGANIZATION BRINGS TOGETHER MEN OF ALL AGES AND EXPERIENCE, CULTIVATES EXTRAORDINARY SINGING AND SHOWMANSHIP, PROMOTES FELLOWSHIP AND CAMARADERIE, AND MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. THROUGH PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, VOCAL INSTRUCTION, SUPPORT OF MUSIC EDUCATION AT ALL AGE LEVELS IN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD, AND CHARITABLE SERVICE, WE ARE MAKING THE MUSIC THAT'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 BEGINNING IN 2014, GRANTS TO CHAPTERS AND DISTRICTS WERE MADE DIRECTLY BY BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM PRIOR YEARS IN WHICH GRANTS WERE ADMINISTERED BY BHS AND PAID BY HARMONY FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL, INC. (A RELATED PARTY). FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: EVALUATION, COACHING AND TRAINING (EVENTS) -- THE SOCIETY PRODUCES DOZENS OF BARBERSHOP CONVENINGS AROUND NORTH AMERICA EVERY YEAR, WHERE GRASSROOTS COMMUNITIES OF ARTISTS (ORGANIZED INTO 17 DISTRICTS, NEARLY 800 CHAPTERS AND 1,200 REGISTERED QUARTETS) SEND HUNDREDS OF CHORUSES AND QUARTETS TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER, CULMINATING IN AN ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION WITH AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE OF 6,000 SINGERS AND FANS. CONTESTS ARE ADJUDICATED BY CERTIFIED JUDGES WHO DONATE THEIR TIME AND EFFORT TO EVALUATE THE ARTISTS AND HELP THEM IMPROVE THEIR ARTISTRY. THE CONTEST AND JUDGING PROGRAM IS A RIGOROUS TRAINING PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT AND EXCELLENCE IN THE CATEGORIES OF MUSIC, SINGING AND PRESENTATION. THESE THREE AREAS OF FOCUS CONTRIBUTE TO THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE AND THE IMPACT THESE ARTISTS HAVE ON THEIR AUDIENCES WITH THE GOAL OF CHANGING LIVES THROUGH MUSIC. MANY OTHER SHOWS, EVENTS AND MEETINGS, AND EDUCATIONAL CLASSES ALSO TAKE PLACE AT THESE CONVENINGS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: OUTREACH, INCLUSION AND PROMOTION (IMAGE & MEMBERSHIP SERVICES) - THE SOCIETY HOSTS A YOUTH BARBERSHOP QUARTET CONTEST WHERE APPROXIMATELY 200-250 YOUNG ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD (UNDER AGE 25) COMPETE IN REGIONAL QUALIFICATION ROUNDS AND RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE TO COMPETE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AT OUR INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION. MANY YOUNG SINGERS FIND THIS A STEPPING STONE TO CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS. AN ADDITIONAL 500-600 YOUNG SINGERS ARE BROUGHT, FREE OF CHARGE, TO OUR INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CHORUS FESTIVAL, A PREMIER DESTINATION EVENT FOR YOUNG MEN'S ENSEMBLES. THE INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CHORUS FESTIVAL FEATURES EDUCATIONAL MASTER CLASSES, MASSED CHOIR EXPERIENCES AND ADJUDICATED FESTIVAL PERFORMANCES BEFORE THOUSANDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE MEMBERS. THE SOCIETY PRODUCES ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL TOURS THAT BRING HIGH-LEVEL PERFORMANCES AND MUSICAL SERVICES TO SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PROMOTING THE BENEFITS OF SINGING AND PROVIDING MUSICAL OUTLETS AND OPPORTUNITIES AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY LEVEL. THE SOCIETY HAS RECENTLY COMMITTED TO A MUCH WIDER VARIETY OF OUTREACH ACTIVITIES -- NOT ONLY YOUTH OUTREACH -- THROUGH A LOCAL GRANTS PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT FUNDING FOR LOCAL GRASSROOTS OUTREACH EFFORTS DEVELOPED AT THE CHAPTER AND DISTRICT LEVELS. A SEPARATE GRANT FUND AWARDS INNOVATIVE NEW IDEAS. THE SOCIETY HAS MANAGED THESE GRANT EFFORT WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF HARMONY FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL, INC. IN 2014, SIXTY-FIVE (65) DIFFERENT EVENTS RECEIVED GRANTS TOTALING $112,318 WITH MORE THAN 304 MUSIC EDUCATORS SUPPORTED AND MORE THAN 6,500 STUDENTS REACHED. AN ADDITIONAL $130,366 IN GRANTS WERE ANNOUNCED IN DECEMBER 2014 FOR EVENTS OCCURRING IN 2015 WITH TOTAL GRANTS IN 2015 EXPECTED TO MORE THAN DOUBLE 2014 LEVELS. TO HELP DELIVER SUCH ACTIVITIES, WE'VE IMPLEMENTED AN INDUSTRY-STANDARD, 100% ONLINE GRANT REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCESS THAT WILL BETTER HELP OUR CHAPTERS DESIGN HIGHER-IMPACT OUTREACH ACTIVITIES, BECOMING BETTER LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE SOCIETY OUTREACH EFFORTS GREW BY 30% IN 2014, AND IN 2015, WE WILL DOUBLE OUR ANNUAL OUTREACH FUNDING AND EXPECT TO REACH APPROXIMATELY 12,000 PEOPLE THROUGH OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY CULTIVATES PERFORMING ARTISTS IN GRASSROOTS COMMUNITIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WHO WEEKLY COME TOGETHER TO SING, LEARN, AND EXPRESS THE GAMUT OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE THROUGH VOCAL HARMONY. FORMAL SETTINGS, SUCH AS CHORUS REHEARSALS, CLINICS AND COACHING SESSIONS, PRESERVE AND ADVANCE THE UNIQUE LITERATURE AND PERFORMANCE STYLE OF A CONTINUALLY EVOLVING MUSICAL ARTFORM THAT TRACES ITS ORIGINS TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN SINGERS OF THE MID-1800'S. INFORMAL IMPROVISATIONAL VOCAL JAM SESSIONS CELEBRATE A MASTER/APPRENTICE TEACHING MODEL AND ORAL TRANSMISSION OF HARMONIC VARIATIONS, TRICKS AND CULTURAL MEMORIES. THESE AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES SOMETIMES GENERATE NEW ENSEMBLES WHICH EXPAND THE MUSIC AND CULTURE FURTHER, AND EXTEND INTO PUBLIC PERFORMANCE AND APPRECIATION OF THE MUSICAL ART FORM. A SERVANT LEADERSHIP MODEL PLACES ADMINISTRATION OF MOST UNITS OF THE SOCIETY (LOCAL CHAPTERS, REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICTS, AND LARGE PROGRAM-DELIVERY AREAS) IN THE HANDS OF GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEERS WHO WORK WITHOUT PAY. SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THE ENTIRE NATIONAL PROGRAM VALUE ARE DESIGNED, IMPLEMENTED, ADMINISTERED AND EVALUATED BY THIS CORPS, WHOSE NUMBERS EXCEED 30% OF ACTIVE ARTIST/MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY. TO ENHANCE ITS EDUCATIONAL REACH, THE SOCIETY PRODUCES THE HARMONIZER MAGAZINE, A COLORFUL BI-MONTHLY PUBLICATION WITH STORIES ABOUT WAYS TO ENHANCE THE BARBERSHOP EXPERIENCE OF MORE THAN 23,000 ARTIST/MEMBERS AND FANS AND TO HELP NEARLY 800 CHAPTERS AND 1,200 REGISTERED QUARTETS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA BETTER SERVE THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. THE SOCIETY HEADQUARTERS ALSO DEVELOPS AND MAINTAINS SEVERAL ONLINE OR EMAIL INFORMATION OUTLETS, INCLUDING THE WEBSITES BARBERSHOP.ORG, BARBERSHOPHQ.COM, THE WEEKLY LIVEWIRE E-NEWSLETTER, AS WELL AS REGULAR UPDATES TO THE SOCIETY'S POPULAR FACEBOOK AND TWITTER PAGES. THE SOCIETY INITIATED THE STORY TELLER PROJECT IN 2014 TO COLLECT STORIES TO CELEBRATE THE "BARBERSHOPPER" EXPERIENCE AND THE LIVES IMPACTED BY THE EXPERIENCE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (MUSICAL EXPERIENCE / HARMONY MARKETPLACE) - FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL MUSIC EDUCATORS ON OUR STAFF, ALONGSIDE HUNDREDS OF HIGH-LEVEL VOLUNTEERS, CONDUCT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TARGETED AT ALL AGE LEVELS, BOTH IN PERSON AND ELECTRONICALLY. THE LARGEST PROGRAM, HARMONY UNIVERSITY, OFFERS HUNDREDS OF CLASSES DURING A WEEK-LONG EVENT ATTENDED BY MORE THAN 700 MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL AGES. MOST OF THE EXPERT INSTRUCTION IS PROVIDED BY SKILLED VOLUNTEERS. STUDENTS -- INCLUDING MUSIC EDUCATORS, ARRANGERS AND ENTHUSIASTS -- LEARN SINGING, COMPOSITION, ARRANGING, SHOW PRODUCTION; DIRECTORS SHARPEN THEIR DIRECTING SKILLS; AND JUDGES USE THE WEEKEND TO LEARN AND CERTIFY FOR COMPETITIONS AND COACHING. IN 2014, OVER 90 SCHOLARSHIPS RANGING FROM 50% TO 100% TUITION WERE PROVIDED TO UNDERSERVED YOUNG MEN, MUSIC EDUCATORS, DIRECTORS AND ARRANGERS. DOZENS OF REGIONAL HARMONY UNIVERSITY CLASSES TAUGHT BY A MIX OF VOLUNTEER AND PROFESSIONAL BHS STAFF ALSO TAKE PLACE ANNUALLY. THE SOCIETY, OFTEN ASSISTED BY UNDERWRITING FROM FROM HARMONY FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL, ALSO SUPPORTS MANY INITIATIVES FOR ENCOURAGING SINGING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND CANADA. SUPPORT INCLUDES FREE SHEET MUSIC TO MANY SCHOOLS (BOTH BARBERSHOP AND NON-BARBERSHOP ARRANGEMENTS), CLINICIANS FOR YOUTH BARBERSHOP CAMPS AND FESTIVALS, AND EXPERT ASSISTANCE TO MUSIC EDUCATORS AND INDEPENDENT YOUTH GROUPS THAT WANT TO START BARBERSHOP CHORUSES AND QUARTETS. THE SOCIETY MAKES BARBERSHOP MUSIC MORE WIDELY ACCESSIBLE BY PRODUCING AND DISTRIBUTING MORE THAN 7,000 MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEN'S (TTBB), WOMEN'S (SSAA) AND MIXED HARMONY (SATB) ENSEMBLES EACH YEAR. THIS REPRESENTS THE LARGEST AVAILABLE INVENTORY OF BARBERSHOP-ORIENTED SHEET MUSIC AVAILABLE IN THE WORLD. THE SOCIETY'S OLD SONG'S LIBRARY HOLDS MORE THAN 125,000 PIECES OF MUSIC, WHICH CONTINUES TO INSPIRE MUSICIANS, HISTORIANS AND ARRANGERS TO REINTRODUCE THESE PIECES TO THE PUBLIC. LEARNING MEDIA, INSTRUCTION AND ASSISTANCE IS ALSO PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS, QUARTETS, AND CHORUSES TO HELP THEM LEGALLY OBTAIN MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR PERFORMING, COMPETING, RECORDING AND SHARING. ANNUALLY THE SOCIETY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 17 DISTRICTS, HOLDS WEEKEND LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS FOR NEWLY-ELECTED CHAPTER OFFICERS TO BECOME PROFICIENT IN THEIR ROLES. AN ANNUAL LEADERSHIP FORUM IS ALSO HELD TO TRAIN THE OFFICERS AND CULTIVATE FUTURE LEADERS OF THE 17 DISTRICTS IN LEADERSHIP SKILLS, THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF MISSION/VISION, PLANNING, PROGRAM PRIORITIZATION AND BEST PRACTICES TO SUPPORT CHORUSES AND QUARTETS IN THEIR DISTRICTS. IN TOTAL, THE SOCIETY'S SCHOOLS, CAMPS, WORKSHOPS, AND SEMINARS REACH WELL OVER 10,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY.
