Introduction & Organizational Background
The Alliance for Music Education Equity (AMEE) is the backbone organization of a collective impact effort of music organizations that are passionate about equity, diversity, and inclusivity, and are committed to cooperatively making systemic change in music education across Denver. Our mission is to unite organizations to identify and implement actions that address diversity, equity, and inclusivity in music education in Denver in a collective, transformational, measurable, and sustainable manner.
In October 2019, the Colorado Symphony, Denver Young Artists Orchestra, and El Sistema Colorado hosted the first Denver Music Education Convening, bringing together 39 organizations—including Denver Public Schools, Bonfils-Stanton, SCFD, and other local universities, funders, and nonprofit arts organizations. This convening led to the creation of AMEE, marking a significant step toward coordinated efforts in music education equity.
Since then, the landscape of music education, philanthropy, and local and national policy has shifted dramatically, shaped by post-pandemic challenges and changes in Denver’s arts ecosystem. AMEE has also evolved, transitioning from fiscal sponsorship under DYAO to becoming an independent 501(c)(3) and recently experiencing the departure of its first executive director. Given these shifts, the board believes now is the time to reconvene, assess the current landscape, and identify collective strategies for ensuring equitable access to music education.
At this critical juncture, AMEE has engaged in strategic planning to determine the organization’s future direction. The board has identified a key priority: hosting a new convening to catalyze collaboration and secure funding that will position AMEE for long-term financial sustainability, including hiring a full-time executive director.
Project Scope & Objectives
AMEE is seeking a consultant to lead fundraising efforts that will support both the upcoming convening and AMEE’s long-term financial sustainability. While the convening will serve as a key platform for engaging stakeholders and advancing conversations around equitable access to music education, the primary objective of this consultancy is to leverage the event to secure new philanthropic funding for AMEE’s operations, including the hiring of a full-time executive director.
Much of the event planning is already in place, with AMEE’s board securing a venue, catering, and logistical support for the convening. The consultant will focus on identifying and securing sponsorships, grants, and donations to:
Key Deliverables & Timeline
The consultant will be responsible for:
Proposals will be considered for a range of 6 to 12 month engagement for continued general operating support for AMEE beyond the convening.
