IBMA Foundation Strategic Planning Survey

The IBMA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charitable foundation, is developing a strategic plan to guide our work over the next 3–5 years, and we want to hear from you! This survey takes about 3 minutes to complete and will directly inform the priorities the organization adopts. Your responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide contact information. Thank you for helping us build a brighter future for bluegrass music.

What is your connection to bluegrass music? (Select all that apply.)

For how many years have you been connected to bluegrass music?

There are three related 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations:

The IBMA Foundation provides grant funds to support programs and initiatives fostering the growth and future of bluegrass music.
The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) connects, educates, and empowers its members, bluegrass professionals and enthusiasts, honoring tradition and encouraging innovation in the bluegrass community worldwide.
The IBMA Trust Fund assists those in the bluegrass community in times of emergency need.

Before this survey, were you aware that the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA Inc.), the IBMA Foundation, and the IBMA Trust Fund are three distinct organizations with different missions, boards, and staff?

While all three organizations play vital roles in the bluegrass community, this survey focuses exclusively on the work, programs, and role of the IBMA Foundation. Please keep the Foundation in mind as you answer the remaining questions.

Please rank the IBMA Foundation’s program areas, in order of their impact on building a brighter future for bluegrass music:
