The UN Music Club was established as an association under the auspices of the UNOG Staff Coordinating Council.
In addition to collecting membership fees, the Club’s Statutes provide for acceptance of sponsorship in order to provide for a budget to purchase and maintain equipment, basic static instruments (drums , percussion, amplification) a modular PA system and recording equipment.
All activities can be supported by sponsorship, e.g., group tuition, band rehearsals, coaching and support in performances by professionnal musicians, purchase of sheet music, arrangements, photocopying and computer equipment and the organization of events.
Donations are accepted for performances. For events which require extensive transport, setting, sound checking, the relevant costs or fees can be discussed with event organisors.
A creative way of donating is to link a musical activity to a cause, whereby the donation is allocated to a designated charity.
