Capital Campaign
In 2004, Ethos purchased commercial property located at 10 N. Killingsworth. When purchased, the building was in need of drastic repair. As a boarded up old halfway house, senior employees recall the neglected building littered with used syringes, dead animals, and garbage. Through the generous support of the community, Ethos was able to transform the building which now houses 13 classrooms, a café, office space, a community garden, and a recital hall.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the organization, Ethos is embarking on a modest capital campaign to continue the second phase of Ethos’ renovations.
The Sound Investments for Youth Capital Campaign, is marked by three areas of focus:
Accessibility. Ethos welcomes people with disabilities. To ensure that Ethos is able to accommodate all of our students and families, Ethos hopes to build an ADA approved elevator.
Sustainability. Ethos understands the importance of environmental stewardship. Through installing solar paneling, new windows, insulation, and new siding, the organization will significantly lower heating and cooling costs. Ethos also hopes to lessen the organization’s carbon footprint.
Tomorrow. The Sound Investments for Youth Capital Campaign will allow the organization to pay off the mortgage on the North Portland headquarters. This step will create a lasting future for Ethos, ensuring that future generations will have equal access to music education.
How You Can Help
Ethos Music Center is a community based organization. Without the support of thousands of parents, neighbors, and friends, Ethos would be unable to continue offering music education to Oregon’s school-aged children.
Your tax deductible contribution, regardless of the size, will bring us one step closer towards making a Sound Investment for Youth.
