Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT	THE BARBERSHOP HARMONY SOCIETY ("BHS OR THE "SOCIETY"), FOUNDED IN 1938 AS THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BARBER SHOP QUARTET SINGING IN AMERICA, INCORPORATED (SPEBSQSA), UNITES PEOPLE THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF SINGING IN HARMONY. ROOTED IN THE CLOSE HARMONY TRADITIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, BARBERSHOP IS A UNIQUELY AMERICAN ART FORM THAT FOSTERS CAMARADERIE, CREATIVITY, AND PERSONAL GROWTH. SINCE 1938, BHS HAS EMPOWERED SINGING COMMUNITIES TO FLOURISH THROUGH MUSICAL EXCELLENCE, EDUCATION, PRESERVATION, AND INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTION. TODAY, MORE THAN 14,000 MEMBERS AND 1,600 SINGING ENSEMBLES ENRICH LIVES AND COMMUNITIES IN NORTH AMERICA. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE WORLD HARMONY COUNCIL, BHS ALSO PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE AMONG 14 GLOBAL ALLIANCE ORGANIZATIONS, TOGETHER REPRESENTING A WORLDWIDE BARBERSHOP COMMUNITY OF OVER 57,000 SINGERS. OUR VISION - EVERYONE IN HARMONY - IS GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT EVERY VOICE MATTERS AND EVERYONE BELONGS. WHETHER IN A CHORUS, A QUARTET, OR A CASUAL COMMUNITY GATHERING, SINGING TOGETHER BUILDS MORE THAN MUSIC: IT CREATES FAMILY, DEEPENS FRIENDSHIPS, AND BRINGS JOY AT EVERY AGE AND STAGE OF LIFE. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF HARMONY SINGING IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AND CELEBRATED.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	THE BHS ORCHESTRATES A SPECTRUM OF EVENT PROGRAMS, PROVIDING PLATFORMS FOR SINGING COMMUNITIES TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY. OUR FLAGSHIP EVENT, THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND, WAS OUR LARGEST SINCE 2016, DRAWING OVER 5,500 ATTENDEES AND SHOWCASING INNOVATIONS LIKE THE DREAM CHORUS EXPERIENCE, COMEDY QUARTET FESTIVAL, AND EXPANDED YOUTH AND SENIORS PROGRAMMING. THESE NEW FORMATS CREATED STAGES FOR EVERY VOICE - FROM FIRST TIME PERFORMERS TO SEASONED CHAMPIONS - AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR AMATEURS AND EVEN NON SINGERS TO PARTICIPATE IN WAYS THEY NEVER IMAGINED, DISCOVERING THE JOY AND CONNECTION OF MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER. EACH BHS EVENT PROVIDES MORE THAN PERFORMANCE IT OFFERS A "MOUNTAINTOP" MOMENT OF CONNECTION, CELEBRATION, AND RENEWAL. THESE GATHERINGS FOSTER DEEP FRIENDSHIPS, ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE, AND A SHARED SENSE OF BELONGING. 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. THESE PROGRAMS AIM TO STRENGTHEN THE MUSICAL AND SOCIAL FABRIC OF COMMUNITIES BY INSPIRING LIFELONG PARTICIPATION IN SINGING, INCREASING AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ARTS, AND ENCOURAGING INCLUSIVE SPACES WHERE EVERYONE FEELS EMPOWERED TO CONTRIBUTE AND BELONG.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	THE BHS UNDERTAKES ROBUST OUTREACH INITIATIVES TARGETING MUSIC EDUCATORS, YOUTH, AND DIVERSE SINGING COMMUNITIES. OUR OUTREACH WORK HELPS TRANSFORM CURIOSITY INTO PASSION, AND A HOBBY INTO A LIFELONG HOME FOR SINGERS. THESE INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING EXPERIENCES ENSURE BARBERSHOP HARMONY CONTINUES TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION. IN 2024, 700 YOUTH SINGERS PARTICIPATED IN NEXT GENERATION BARBERSHOP PROGRAMS. 15 HIGH SCHOOL CHORUSES AND 15 JUNIOR QUARTETS PERFORMED AT THE JUNIOR QUARTET AND CHORUS FESTIVALS HELD AT THE BHS MIDWINTER CONVENTION IN NEW YORK CITY. THESE SUMMIT EXPERIENCES GIVE YOUNG SINGERS THE CHANCE TO MEET AND SING ALONG WITH WORLD CLASS PERFORMERS AND INSTRUCTORS, WHILE THE INTERGENERATIONAL ATTENDANCE OF THE EVENT MODELS THE LIFELONG SATISFACTION AND ACHIEVEMENT POSSIBILITIES OF THE MUSIC AVOCATION. INDEED, POST EVENT SURVEYS SHOW THAT 73% OF STUDENT ATTENDEES EXPECT TO MAKE MUSIC A LIFELONG PURSUIT. WE ALSO HONORED WISCONSIN EDUCATOR PENNY YANKE AS OUR 2024 BHS/NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUSIC EDUCATION (NAFME) MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR, UNDERSCORING OUR COMMITMENT TO CLASSROOM 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. 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. OUR OUTCOMES INCLUDE INCREASED ACCESS TO ARTS EDUCATION FOR YOUTH, STRENGTHENED SCHOOL CHORAL PROGRAMS, ENHANCED COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, AND EXPANDED PARTICIPATION IN CULTURAL LIFE ACROSS DIVERSE AND UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	THE BHS CHAMPIONS THE ADVANCEMENT OF ARTISTIC AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS WITHIN SINGING COMMUNITIES, WHILE ALSO DIVERSIFYING REVENUE STREAMS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY. HARMONY UNIVERSITY (HU) 2024, HOSTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER, SERVED OVER 425 PARTICIPANTS (A 13% INCREASE FROM 2023). THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS, FACULTY COACHING, AND IMMERSIVE COURSEWORK, HU EMPOWERS SINGERS, EDUCATORS, AND LEADERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND AROUND THE GLOBE (AT LEAST 10 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED). STORIES LIKE HARMONY HANGOUT 2024 BARBERSHOP RADIO SHOW LAUNCHED BY ERIC RYAN CLARK ON WRFL HIGHLIGHT THE ONGOING EVOLUTION OF BARBERSHOP CULTURE AS A LIVING, CREATIVE, AND DEEPLY PERSONAL ART FORM. THESE PROGRAMS SUPPORT WHAT WE BELIEVE AT OUR CORE: THAT SINGING TOGETHER IS MORE THAN MUSIC, IT'S EXERCISE FOR THE SOUL. COMPLEMENTING HU ARE INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT, BIG LEAP SEMINARS, WHICH TRAIN VOLUNTEER LEADERS IN BEST PRACTICES FOR NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE CONTEST & JUDGING PROGRAM, AND MUSIC EDUCATION AND CLINICIAN SERVICES. THE SOCIETY ALSO DISTRIBUTES MORE THAN 7,000 NEW ARRANGEMENTS ANNUALLY ACROSS TTBB, SSAA, AND SATB FORMATS, AND MAINTAINS THE WORLD'S LARGEST COLLECTION OF BARBERSHOP SHEET MUSIC AND RECORDINGS. OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ADDS HUNDREDS OF FRESH VIDEOS EACH YEAR, WIDELY SPREADING THE DYNAMIC STATE OF THE BARBERSHOP ART IN MORE THAN 10 MILLION ANNUAL VIEWS. WE SEE A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN VIEWERS ENCOUNTERING BARBERSHOP FOR THE FIRST TIME VIA YOUTUBE TO TAKING A STEP TOWARD SINGING FOR THEMSELVES, A VITAL PART OF OUR MISSION TO FOSTER NEW SINGERS. WE AIM TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINED COMMUNITY IMPACT BY EQUIPPING VOLUNTEER AND MUSICAL LEADERS WITH TOOLS TO BUILD THRIVING LOCAL GROUPS, INCREASING ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE AND LEADERSHIP CAPACITY ACROSS THOUSANDS OF ENSEMBLES, AND INSPIRING INDIVIDUALS TO GROW BOTH MUSICALLY AND PERSONALLY THROUGH LIFELONG LEARNING.
