Rural Initiative
Giving Voice is partnering with communities to create 25 new dementia-friendly choruses in rural Minnesota and Wisconsin.
We're excited to share our model and spread this opportunity to increase wellbeing, combat social isolation, and strengthen community connections for people living with dementia and their care partners.
​​
We are seeking out people and organizations who would love to bring the Giving Voice model to their own communities. We invite you to apply for support and funding to help get your new chorus off the ground!
