FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT	THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY (HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE SOCIETY OR "BHS"), ALSO KNOWN AS SPEBSQSA, STANDS COMMITTED TO UNITING INDIVIDUALS IN HARMONY AND CAMARADERIE, ENRICHING LIVES THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF SINGING. ESTABLISHED IN 1938 AS THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BARBER SHOP QUARTET SINGING IN AMERICA, INCORPORATED (SPEBSQSA), OUR ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO PRESERVING AND ADVANCING THE LEGACY OF BARBERSHOP MUSIC. ROOTED IN THE CLOSE HARMONY TRADITIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, BARBERSHOP MUSIC IS A CLASSIC AMERICAN ART FORM. WITH A MEMBERSHIP EXCEEDING 14,000 INDIVIDUALS AND OVER 1,500 CHORUSES AND QUARTETS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA, THE SOCIETY IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST SINGING ORGANIZATIONS. OUR ENDURING GOAL IS TO FOSTER HARMONY AND FELLOWSHIP, RECOGNIZING THE PROFOUND IMPACT COLLECTIVE SINGING HAS ON INDIVIDUAL LIVES AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY. THE SOCIETY'S MISSION-DRIVEN INITIATIVES ARE CENTERED AROUND FOUR CORE IMPACT AREAS: 1. MUSIC EDUCATION: BHS IS COMMITTED TO NURTURING THE SUCCESS OF MUSIC EDUCATORS BY OFFERING SCHOLARSHIPS, PROVIDING FREE MUSIC, AND FURNISHING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. THESE EFFORTS ENRICH THE LIVES OF STUDENTS BY INSTILLING A LIFELONG PASSION FOR SINGING AND MUSICAL EXCELLENCE. 2. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT: THROUGH VIBRANT EVENTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, MUSICAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND PERFORMANCES, BHS ENERGIZES YOUNG PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, ENCOURAGING A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR SINGING THAT ENDURES THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES. 3. PRESERVATION: LEVERAGING OUR EXTENSIVE HISTORIC ARCHIVES, THE SOCIETY PRESERVES THE RICH HERITAGE OF BARBERSHOP MUSIC WHILE INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE. THIS ENSURES THAT EACH GENERATION OF SINGERS HAS ACCESS TO THEIR MUSICAL ROOTS WHILE EMBRACING CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS OF HARMONY. 4. SINGING COMMUNITY HEALTH: BHS HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF CULTIVATING INTERGENERATIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE SINGING COMMUNITIES. THESE COMMUNITIES SERVE AS HUBS OF SHARED EXPERIENCES, FOSTERING LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS AND PROVIDING INVALUABLE SUPPORT TO SINGERS IN ALL FACETS OF LIFE. AT THE CORE OF OUR MISSION IS THE BELIEF THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF SINGING TOGETHER IN HARMONY IS UNIVERSALLY MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. THE SOCIETY IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING AND PROMOTING BOTH SINGLE-GENDER AND ALL-VOICE SINGING EXPERIENCES, EMPOWERING EACH GROUP TO DEFINE ITS PURPOSE AND MISSION WITHIN ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY. OUR STRATEGIC VISION, "EVERYONE IN HARMONY," SEEKS TO EXPAND THE REACH OF BARBERSHOP HARMONY TO ALL COMMUNITIES. BY RECOGNIZING THE INHERENT VALUE OF DIVERSE SINGING EXPERIENCES, WE ENRICH OUR COLLECTIVE HUMANITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE CULTURAL WELL-BEING OF SOCIETY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	EVENTS: THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY ORCHESTRATES A SPECTRUM OF EVENT PROGRAMS, PROVIDING PLATFORMS FOR SINGING COMMUNITIES TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS BOTH LOCALLY AND ON A GLOBAL SCALE. THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, WE HAVE OBSERVED MULTIFACETED OUTCOMES: SINGING COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE GROWTH BOTH IN MUSICAL PROFICIENCY AND ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY, THEREBY INCREASING THEIR OVERALL IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY. THE FORMATION OF NEW SINGING COMMUNITIES PROLIFERATES, FOSTERING A VIBRANT ECOSYSTEM OF SHARED HARMONY. PARTICIPATION IN THESE COMMUNITIES SWELLS AS MORE SINGERS ARE DRAWN TO THE JOY OF COLLECTIVE SINGING. SINGING GROUPS EVOLVE INTO INTEGRAL COMPONENTS OF THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, FOSTERING A SENSE OF BELONGING AND CULTURAL ENRICHMENT. KEY ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES ENCOMPASS THE PRODUCTION OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL CONVENINGS, ENCOMPASSING CONTESTS, EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS, PARTICIPATORY SINGING EVENTS, AND CELEBRATORY SHOWCASES. OUR FLAGSHIP EVENT, THE SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION, STANDS AS A PINNACLE GATHERING, FEATURING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR BOTH QUARTET AND CHORUS PERFORMANCES, ALONGSIDE YOUTH CONTESTS, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH ENDEAVORS. THOUSANDS JOIN IN HARMONY AND SING "KEEP THE WHOLE WORLD SINGING" TO CONCLUDE THE WEEK-LONG EVENT. SIMILARLY, THE MIDWINTER CONVENTION, AN INTERGENERATIONAL CELEBRATION, MARKS THE COMMENCEMENT OF EACH YEAR, SHOWCASING YOUTH ENSEMBLES AND SEASONED PERFORMERS ALIKE. THE EVENT INCLUDES OUR NEXT GENERATION BARBERSHOP YOUTH CHORUS INVITATIONAL; YOUTH QUARTET CONTEST; SENIORS CHORUS CONTEST; AND OUR SENIORS QUARTET CONTEST, REFLECTING THE VALUE AND REACH OF LIFELONG SINGING. BEYOND CONVENTIONS, CONTESTS, AND FESTIVALS, THE SOCIETY FACILITATES NUMEROUS PUBLIC PERFORMANCES AND SHOWS, ENGAGING AUDIENCES BOTH IN PERSON AND ONLINE. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, AN ESTIMATED 200,000 INDIVIDUALS HAVE ATTENDED IN-PERSON BHS EVENTS, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 16 MILLION VIEWERS TUNING IN ANNUALLY TO ONLINE BARBERSHOP PERFORMANCES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	OUTREACH: THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY UNDERTAKES ROBUST OUTREACH INITIATIVES TARGETING MUSIC EDUCATORS, YOUTH, AND DIVERSE SINGING COMMUNITIES. BY CREATING RELATIONSHIPS, PROVIDING FREE RESOURCES, AND ORGANIZING EVENTS, OUR EFFORTS AIM TO: CULTIVATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUNG INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE MUSIC EDUCATION AND ENGAGE IN COLLECTIVE SINGING, NURTURING THEIR HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT. BREAK DOWN PERCEIVED BARRIERS AND BRIDGE GENERATIONAL AND CULTURAL DIVIDES THROUGH SHARED MUSICAL EXPERIENCES. PROVIDE SUPPORT MECHANISMS FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES, EMPOWERING THEM TO NAVIGATE ADVERSITIES WITH RESILIENCE AND STRENGTH. EMPOWER MUSIC EDUCATORS TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN STUDENTS, THEREBY ENRICHING THE VITALITY OF CHORAL MUSIC PROGRAMS AND POSITIVELY IMPACTING YOUNG LIVES. AN EXEMPLARY PROGRAM UNDER OUR OUTREACH UMBRELLA IS NEXT GENERATION BARBERSHOP (NGB), TAILORED TO SINGERS AGED 25 AND UNDER. THROUGH IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES LIKE THE NGB JUNIOR CHORUS INVITATIONAL AND THE NGB VARSITY QUARTET CONTEST, PARTICIPANTS NOT ONLY DISCOVER THE JOY OF HARMONY SINGING BUT ALSO DEVELOP ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE, AND TEAMWORK. THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE OF THE NGB JUNIOR CHORUS INVITATIONAL INCLUDES CLINICS AND WORKSHOPS BY WORLD-RENOWNED EXPERTS, CULMINATING IN A CHORUS FESTIVAL AND A SPECTACULAR CLOSING CEREMONY FEATURING ALL VOICES. THIS PROGRAM OFFERS SINGERS A MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE THAT LOCKS IN A LIFELONG APPRECIATION FOR VOCAL HARMONY AND THE COMMUNAL EXPERIENCE OF THE BARBERSHOP CULTURE. THE PROGRAM FURTHER HELPS YOUNG SINGERS INCREASE THEIR CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE, TEAMWORK, AND CREATIVITY, HELPING THEM BECOME STRONGER LEADERS IN THEIR SCHOOLS, COMMUNITIES, AND FAMILIES. SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS BASED ON NEED, TRAVEL DISTANCE, AND PAST PARTICIPATION ENSURE MAXIMUM PROGRAM IMPACT. FURTHERMORE, OUR DISTRIBUTION OF SHEET MUSIC, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS, AND LEARNING TRACKS TO MUSIC EDUCATORS HAS REACHED OVER 25,000 UNITS IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, ENHANCING THE VIBRANCY OF CHORAL MUSIC PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE. COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER CHORAL ORGANIZATIONS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES FOR LOCAL SINGING COMMUNITIES FURTHER AMPLIFY OUR OUTREACH IMPACT, FOSTERING A THRIVING ECOSYSTEM OF HARMONY ENTHUSIASTS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	SINGING COMMUNITY SUPPORT: THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY CHAMPIONS THE ADVANCEMENT OF ARTISTIC AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS WITHIN SINGING COMMUNITIES, WHILE ALSO DIVERSIFYING REVENUE STREAMS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY.

COMPLEMENTING HU ARE INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT, CONTEST & JUDGING PROGRAM, AND MUSIC EDUCATION AND CLINICIAN SERVICES, WHICH COLLECTIVELY EQUIP SINGING COMMUNITIES WITH THE TOOLS, RESOURCES, AND EXPERTISE NEEDED FOR SUSTAINED GROWTH AND ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR COMMITMENT TO MUSIC PRESERVATION ENSURES THAT A RICH TAPESTRY OF BARBERSHOP REPERTOIRE REMAINS ACCESSIBLE TO PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HARMONY ENTHUSIASTS. WE PROVIDE ARTISTIC SERVICES INCLUDING LICENSING AND COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE FOR MUSIC AND PERFORMANCES, DEVELOPING AND DISTRIBUTING NEW MUSIC AND ARRANGEMENTS, AND CURATING ARCHIVAL RECORDINGS OF OVER 5,000 INDIVIDUAL TAPES, REELS, CYLINDERS, RECORDS, AND OTHER MEDIA, IN 41 DIFFERENT ANALOG FORMATS, CAPTURING 30,000 TO 100,000+ INDIVIDUAL SONGS.
