Mapping Reports

Visually mapping your orchestra’s partners and activity is a compelling way to provide a picture of the work your orchestra does for communities. 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.

All League member orchestras are eligible for a mapping report once per year on a first-come, first-served basis. This entails an initial 30 minute video call to discuss the data collection process, with additional calls and follow-up as needed. Orchestras provide a spreadsheet of data and desired categorization of their partners, and in return receive an editable PowerPoint comprising 6-8 maps and accompanying partner lists–all deriving from a single primary database. Map selections are typically 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.

Upon request, 1-2 specialized maps may be included as part of your mapping report. The range and number of what can be provided will depend on the type of data supplied and require a more detailed consultation with League staff.
