PURPOSE The SFFCM AFFILIATE PROGRAM encourages and assists emerging and existing chamber ensembles, individuals, unincorporated organizations and presenters who share our commitment to chamber music. Through fiscal sponsorship, career guidance, and a wide range of workshops, services and resources, the Program supports chamber music related projects created by affiliates that promote artistic excellence, education, commissioning of new works, and the awareness of chamber music as an art form. ELIGIBILITYAn Applicant must be a chamber music ensemble organization or an individual that shares the goals of the Friends, which implies, at a minimum, a commitment to chamber music projects that will enhance the public's interest in and appreciation of this genre. The Applicant must have a clear, demonstrated potential to perform a proposed project (whether one-time or ongoing) at a level of high quality to be considered for affiliation. The Applicant must also demonstrate the potential to administer its project and make required reports to the Friends and to other agencies. Applicants may reside in California, but preference will be given to those whose project is intended to benefit chamber music in the San Francisco Bay Area. Applicants are approved for participation in the Program at the sole discretion of the Friends’ Board of Directors and in accordance with the mission and purposes of the Friends as set forth in its governing documents. APPLICATIONApplication for affiliation may begin by contacting Dominique Pelletey, Executive Director, San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, 3701 Sacramento Street, PMB 357, San Francisco, CA 94118-1705 415-710-0551, pelletey@sffcm.org Initially, an applicant is asked to complete a Questionnaire (by email) designed to determine their goals, needs and to guide the creation of a project. The Affiliate Committee reviews the Questionnaire, and a consultation with the Executive Director or an Affiliate Committee member occurs at this time. Formal application may begin with the following steps:
Please send your Letter of Application and Supporting Materials to: Mrs. Susan Bates, President; San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music 3701 Sacramento Street, PMB 357; San Francisco, CA. 94118-1705. Upon receipt, the Letter of Application and Supporting Materials are reviewed and the Friends’ Board of Directors, whose decision will be final, votes to accept an applicant. The Board generally reviews applicants every three months beginning in September of each year. (Temporary and immediate fiscal sponsorship may be granted under special circumstances.) Following such approval, the applicant will be asked to sign a Letter of Agreement that states in detail the obligations and benefits of the Program and places the affiliate into a legal relationship with the Friends.
