From across Canada, 24 community organizations were chosen.<\/p>\n<h2>The details<\/h2>\n<p>MusiCounts is a charity devoted to music education. The organization is associated with both The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and The JUNO Awards.<\/p>\n<p>MusiCounts supports organizations that put instruments into the hands of young people, with a goal of making the transformative power of musicmaking accessible to all.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s funding from the 2022 MusiCounts TD Community Music Program totals <strong>$320,000<\/strong>, and will be used to provide musical instruments, equipment, and other resources to community-based not-for-profit organizations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They target groups working with kids and young people up to age 25;<\/li>\n<li>Each group receives up to $20,000 in funding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To date, the Program has awarded more than $3.9 million to 271 community organizations.<\/p>\n<h2>The 2022 recipients<\/h2>\n<p>For this year, the Program focused on funding organizations that foster a diverse culture of music. Fully 80% of the organization recipients develop educational programming that has a strong culturally relevant or new technology component. The North York Inter\u2014Community Youth program will use the funds to buy steelpan drums to expand existing programming because of high demand. Nepali\u2014Canadian youth in Edmonton will be able to play traditional instruments purchased by the Nepalese Canadian Society with their share of the funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MusiCounts TD Community Music Program offers youth a unique pathway to music, right in their own community,\u201d says Kristy Fletcher, MusiCounts President in a media statement. \u201cThis cohort of recipients demonstrates just how vital this kind of music\u2014making is; whether groups are celebrating cultural traditions, providing music therapy, or engaging in a shared interest of technology, this investment means more Canadian youth will be empowered to reach their potential through music.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84600\" style=\"width:
