Mapping Project

Mapping your public value is a way to provide a new picture of the work your orchestra does in the community. The breadth of your orchestra’s engagement is displayed powerfully in a set of maps and accompanying lists that show the number, variety, and geographic spread of the schools, community, and business partners with which you interact. Contact Najean Lee in the League’s DC office to get started.

Basic Maps

For all League member orchestras, we offer our basic mapping report once per year on a first-come, first-served basis. This entails an initial 45-60 minute call to discuss the data collection process and additional calls and follow-up as needed. The editable PowerPoint file compiles approximately 6 maps and accompanying partner lists deriving from a single primary database. Map selections are made from the following options: optimal view of all partners; county-level; city-proper; Congressional district; median household income at the Census tract level applied to the map at one of those levels (typically done at the optimal view of all partners).

Customized Maps

A larger and more customized mapping report is available to member orchestras at a cost of $300. This report includes up to 12 maps with lists including the basic maps, plus selecting 2-3 from the following options: race; median age; partners by duration; numbers served; supplementary maps based on additional dataset (i.e. employees, vendors). The range of what can be provided will depend on the type of data supplied and require a more detailed consultation with League staff..
