Please join Open Ears Festival of Music and Sound

Please join Open Ears Festival of Music and Sound today in celebrating #GivingTuesday, a day dedicated to charitable giving.

We know there are so many charities deserving of your support at this time of year. As you plan your year-end giving, we hope you will consider making a donation to Open Ears Festival.

Planning for our 2022 festival is well underway. Right now all indications are that Open Ears will join many other arts and culture organizations in a return to full-scale, in person, events in 2022. In the weeks and months ahead we remain hopeful that our audiences, and our community at large enjoys a post-pandemic recovery that allows for a healthy, safe and fulfilling return to the experiences we have missed since early 2020.

We want to add that Open Ears Festival received registered charity status in 2021. This is a milestone achievement for our organization which we believe will further support our ability to have a positive impact on arts and culture in our region, and beyond. Your online donation through the CanadaHelps link will be eligible for a tax receipt.

If you have already made a donation to Open Ears in 2021, thank you so much. To our funders, corporate partners, our festival audiences and artists who have continued to support us during a difficult period, we thank you also. Your support for Open Ears has helped in a very meaningful way. We hope to see you in person at #OE22 June 2-5. Save the date!

On behalf of Open Ears Board and Staff, thank you!

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on those whose lives were lost and those who survived residential schools, and we honour the lasting impact on the families and communities who are so deeply impacted by this period in Canada‘s history 🧡

Can we share some good news with you today?

Open Ears is excited to announce we have received Registered Charitable Status from Canada Revenue Agency.

The new charitable status now allows us to recognize financial contributions to Open Ears with tax receipts, and is a long-awaited step in our work to develop greater, stronger relationships with our donors, audiences, corporate partners and funders.

We want to offer our most sincere thanks to local organizations, including NUMUS Concerts, CAFKA and Createscape Waterloo Region for their partnership over many years.

To our loyal past and present supporters … thank you for always being there for us. To any future contributors, we look forward to earning your support and to understanding what we can do to engage with you in a meaningful way.

Thank you!
