The ICC respectfully requests a $10,000 grant from the City of Carmel 2015 Arts Grants program in support of the vital choral and music education programs provided by the ICC in the City of Carmel and for its residents, and this supplementary narrative is presented in support of that request. We thank you for the funding we received in 2014, and appreciate your careful consideration of our 2015 application. ABOUT THE INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR The Indianapolis Children's Choir is recognized internationally for its artistic brilliance, and celebrated locally as a true Indiana treasure. ICC singers have shared the stage with premier musicians and artists ranging from the Moscow Chamber Orchestra to Celine Dion, performed at prestigious events such as the Super Bowl, and toured the United States and the world as cultural ambassadors. As one of the largest and most accomplished programs of its kind (reaching over 5,000 children and youth annually) the ICC has a 29 -year history of providing exceptional music education and choral performance experiences to children throughout central Indiana. The ICC's founder and artistic director, Henry Leck, has authored textbooks, produced videos, and edited multiple works in the field of children's choral music, and is widely known for his expertise in choral conducting techniques. The ICC staff regularly travels to share expertise and methods with choral music educators, compounding their impact by sharing their expertise with other music educators. These impressive achievements in choral music are only part of the ICC story — its impact on children and youth is broader and deeper as students participate in music education programs that help them to gain confidence in themselves and respect for others. Today's young people face many challenges, and it is by working through these challenges that they learn to grow. In the community of the ICC, children learn discipline, work collaboratively with peers, and flourish under the guidance of adult role models. They thrive in this environment, gaining self - respect, developing maturity, and finding purpose. Indianapolis Children's Choir 2015 City of Carmel Arts Program Request Supplementary Narrative — page 2 of 4 Music education plays a vital role in the individual and social development of young people, and numerous studies affirm benefits such as improved school attendance and graduation rates, positive interpersonal relationships, and enhanced communication skills. In addition, choral music is unique in its non - competitive, teamwork - oriented quality, crossing barriers of physical ability, culture, religion, and socioeconomic background. Children in the ICC receive music education instruction from a carefully designed, age - appropriate curriculum based on best practices in the music field. Integrated curriculum at all age levels promotes the national and state academic standards for music. Experienced, certified, and carefully selected instructors ensure the quality of ICC programming In addition to providing the opportunity for students to participate in formal ICC choral and music education programs, the ICC works with music teachers in local schools to bring best practices, expertise, and new ideas throughout the ICC Innovations Program. This initiative provides in- school music convocations, guest conducting, teacher resourcing, and day to week -long residencies from ICC music educators at no charge. THE ICC IN THE CITY OF CARMEL While the Indianapolis Children's Choir is based on the campus of Butler University, the ICC has a strong presence in the City of Carmel and throughout Hamilton County. Beginning with an Early Childhood music education program that is available to children as young as 18 months and culminating with internationally acclaimed high school choirs, opportunities are available for young people of all ages. ICC Early Childhood Music Program The ICC offers Early Childhood music classes to children ages 18 months to 5 years old, including those in Kindergarten. The goal of the Early Childhood Program is to enable all participants to reach their full potential in singing, vocabulary, and movement skills, with an emphasis on developing sensitivity to the expressive qualities in music. Children are not taught formally about the specifics of music, but rather they play with music through a series of eight well- rounded activities based on the First Steps in Music curriculum. Indianapolis Children's Choir 2015 City of Carmel Arts Program Request Supplementary Narrative — page 3 of 4 The ICC Early Childhood Music Program offers unique introductory music experiences to children at an earlier age than formal education is available, and multiple studies affirm the importance of introducing musical concepts at a very young age. Laverne Warner reports in Childhood Education: "Music helps children gain musical intelligence, vocabulary, an understanding of symbols and sequence, and an increase in memory and auditory function." A York University study mirrored the "rhythm, pitch, melody, voice, and basic musical concepts" of ICC's Early Childhood Division, and demonstrated rapid improvement in "language, attention, and overall cognitive function" for children ages 4 -6 in just 20 days of music programming (Psychological Science, October 2011). The ICC offers an Early Childhood Music Education Program at located Cannel Lutheran Church, as well as on the campus of Butler University and in other sites throughout central Indiana. ICC Preparatory Choir Program The ICC's Preparatory Choir Program is a non - auditioned experience for first through third grade students. Children meet weekly, are introduced to choral music in a rehearsal setting, and take part in a choral environment of singing, learning, and fun. Each lesson has been created to cleverly and energetically combine the learning of musical skills, group singing, and play -like activities. Students also learn about proper breathing and posture, develop basic music reading skills, and become prepared to sing in a formal choir. In Carmel, the ICC offers a Preparatory Choir Program located at Carmel Lutheran Church. In 2014, the program in Carmel has expanded to two groups — one for singers in the first or second grade and new participants, and the other for third graders and returning singers. Preparatory Choir Programs are also available on the campus of Butler University, as well as at satellite locations in the counties surrounding Indianapolis. Hamilton County Regional Choir — Carmel The ICC offers Regional County Choirs in the communities surrounding Indianapolis, including the City of Carmel. This choir is one of our largest regional programs and children in grades four through seven are able to benefit from the ICC choral experience through weekly rehearsals, participation in selected ICC Concert Series performances, and singing at local community events. The choir rehearses at Carmel Lutheran Church under the direction of Josh Pedde, the Assistant Artistic Director for the ICC. Indianapolis Children's Choir 2015 City of Carmel Arts Program Request Supplementary Narrative — page 4 of 4 In addition to these Carmel -based programs, Early Childhood Music Education, Preparatory Choir, and Regional County Choir programs are available in nearby Fishers. ICC Campus Choirs Carmel children and youth in grades four through nine may also choose to join choirs that rehearse on the campus of Butler University. Each student is placed in a choir based on ability and experience. Beginning level choirs rehearse weekly and include students who exhibit a strong desire to sing and have demonstrated an intermediate proficiency in vocal technique. The more advanced choirs rehearse twice weekly and include students who have demonstrated a high degree of vocal and sight - reading ability. The ICC also has two high school choirs that include students who have successfully auditioned. Performance Highlights Members of the ICC's Carmel Regional Choir and other performance choirs have multiple opportunities to perform in Cannel, Indianapolis, across the country, and, for singers in advanced choirs, throughout the world. These concerts provide quality musical artistry to the audience and, at the same time, give singers the affirmation that comes with achieving the highest level of excellence and expression. These opportunities include: • Performances in Carmel for local community groups and in collaboration with Carmel and Hamilton organizations such as the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble and the Carmel Symphony Orchestra. • Participation in the Indianapolis Children's Choir Season Concert Series, singing alongside other ICC choirs, sharing an experience with a larger group and meeting new people. • National and international tours that expand cultural awareness and increase appreciation for the international arts community.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Indianapolis Children's Choir, Inc.: PARTNERS Thomas J. Sponsel Lisa M. Purichia Jason S. Thompson Nicholas C. Hopkins Michael D. Bedel We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Indianapolis Children's Choir, Inc. (an Indiana not - for- profit corporation), which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Organization The Indianapolis Children's Choir (the ICC) is an Indiana not - for - profit corporation that provides quality music education, with the goal of attaining the highest level of artistic excellence in children's choral music performances (aged eighteen months through eighteen years). During the year ended June 30, 2014, the ICC included more than 3,200 children from throughout Indiana participating in 18 choirs and 30 programs including choirs in the outreach program, early childhood division, and after school programming. In the 2013 -2014 year, approximately 368 combined singers participated in choir tours to England, New York, Austria, and Ireland. In the 2012- 2013 year, approximately 206 combined singers participated in choir tours to Cincinnati, Colorado, and Dallas. The ICC's support comes mainly from individual and corporate contributions, government and foundation grants, and tuition fees from singers. Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the ICC considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were cash equivalents totaling $41,436 and $41,432 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are unsecured singer obligations requiring payment. Tuition is billed annually in October and is considered delinquent May 15` if the balance is not paid in full. Tours are billed in October and are considered delinquent if not paid in full by the day of the tour. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the singer. Payment of accounts receivable balances are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the singer's remittance advice, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all delinquent accounts receivable balances, and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Grants Receivable Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenues or gains in the period the promise is received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses, depending on the form of the benefits received. Conditional promises to give are recognized only when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met and the promises become unconditional. 7 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Fair Value Measurements The ICC defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three -level fair value hierarchy has been established for disclosure that prioritizes valuations based on whether the significant inputs used to estimate fair value are observable, giving highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to valuations primarily based on unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Fair values measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 are as follows: Investment held at community foundation Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Identical Other Significant Assets Observable Unobservable (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) 31,781 $ Fair values measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 are as follows: Fair Value Investment held at community foundation $ 27,899 $ 31,781 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Identical Other Significant Assets Observable Unobservable (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) $ 27,899 Fair value for beneficial interest in assets held at Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF) is determined based on the fund value reported by CICF. CICF allocates investment income to the fund based on the unitized value of the assets held by each individual fund within the overall portfolio. See footnote number two, CICF Endowment Fund, for reconciliation of Level 3 investments. 8 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Contributions Contributions received by the ICC are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions. Contributions are recognized when the donor makes an unconditional promise to give to the ICC and are recorded at their fair values as revenues and assets in the year a contribution acknowledgement is received. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions expire in the year in which the contributions are recognized. All other donor - restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily restricted net assets, unless specified that the contribution be maintained in perpetuity resulting in an increase in permanently restricted net assets. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. Public Support and Revenue Contributions and grants received are generally available for unrestricted use in the fiscal year received unless specifically restricted as to time or purpose by the donor. If donor stipulations exist, the asset is reported as temporarily restricted support until either the donor time stipulation expires or the donor stated purpose has been accomplished. At that time, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. In many instances, the restrictions needed to complete the purpose of grants extend over several financial reporting periods. Revenue relating to contributions and grants must be recognized in the year awarded rather than recognizing revenues as related expenses are incurred. Contributions received in memoriam have been designated by the Board of Directors to be placed in the ICC's endowment investment account. Since these receipts have been designated by the donor to be used at the discretion of the Board of Directors, they represent a quasi- endowment and are reported as designated unrestricted support. The quasi- endowment balance was $41,436 and $41,432 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tax Status The ICC is an Indiana not - for - profit corporation, other than a private foundation, and its activities are exempt from federal income taxes under U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Unrelated business income, of which the ICC had none for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, would be subject to federal income taxes. Consequently, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any provision for income taxes. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the ICC and recognize a tax liability if the ICC has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by various federal and state taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the ICC, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The ICC is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. No interest or penalties were incurred as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. 9 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Tax Status, Continued The ICC has filed its federal and state exempt tax returns for periods through June 30, 2013. These returns are generally open to examination by the relevant taxing authorities for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2012, and 2013, from the later of the date the return was filed or its due date (including approved extensions). Functional Expenses Expenses have been classified as program services, management and general, and fundraising based on actual direct expenditures and cost allocation based on estimates of time and usage by the ICC personnel and programs. Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluated by management through November 18, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 2. CICF ENDOWMENT FUND The ICC holds an endowment through the CICF (see Note 1). The original principal amount will permanently remain with CICF, with investment income earned on the endowment to be paid to the ICC. The maximum amount that the ICC may withdraw in a year is 5% of the fund balance on December 315t of the previous year plus any carryover spendable amount from the prior fiscal year. The amount available to the ICC to withdraw was $2,772 and $1,346 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The ICC's endowment funds consist of donor - restricted contributions that were made to provide a source of income for operations. As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor - imposed restrictions. Interpretation of Relevant Law The Board of Directors of the ICC has interpreted the State Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (SPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the historical value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor - restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the ICC classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment. In accordance with SPMIFA, the ICC considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor - restricted endowment funds: 10 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 2. CICF ENDOWMENT FUND, CONTINUED 1) The duration and preservation of the fund 2) The purposes of the ICC and the donor - restricted endowment fund 3) General economic conditions 4) The possible effect of inflation and deflation 5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments 6) Other resources of the ICC 7) The investment policies of the ICC Changes in endowment investments for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013: Temporarily Permanently Restricted Restricted Total Endowment investments, July 1, 2012 $ 283 $ 25,000 $ 25,283 Gain on investments 2,876 2,876 Investment fees (260) (260) Endowment investments, June 30, 2013 $ 2,899 $ 25,000 $ 27,899 Gain on investments 4,172 4,172 Investment fees (290) (290) Endowment investments, June 30, 2014 $ 6,781 $ 25,000 $ 31,781 There were no distributions during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The ICC has adopted investment policies for endowment investments that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its Endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives To satisfy its long -term rate -of- return objectives, the ICC relies on a total return strategy administered by CICF in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). CICF targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on long- term growth and a reasonable return. Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Spending Policy CICF has a policy that the ICC can disburse from the endowment up to 5% of the endowment's previous year end fund balance plus any carryover spendable amount for the ICC operating expenditures. This is consistent with the ICC's objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through investment return. 11 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The following is a summary of property and equipment as of June 30: Music Equipment Furniture and fixtures Uniforms Vehicles Software Leasehold improvements Less accumulated depreciation Property and equipment, net 2014 $ 439,286 115,733 121,215 39,260 39,577 27,916 2,902 785,889 (744, 200) 41,689 2013 428,722 115,733 121,215 39,260 39,577 27,916 2,902 775,325 (713,651) 61,674 Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The ICC's capitalization policy is to capitalize asset acquisitions of $500 or greater with a useful life exceeding one year. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures, equipment, vehicles, and improvements are being depreciated over 3 to 5 years. Uniforms, music, and software are depreciated over 3 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged against operations as incurred. Depreciation expense was $30,548 and $28,406 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 4. PREPAID LEASE AND OPERATING LEASES The ICC entered into a long -term lease with Butler University for space in on- campus facilities. The current lease is for 26.5 years for two rehearsal areas and 30 years for office space and was prepaid in 2003. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the unamortized amounts of the lease were $485,740 and $520,436, respectively. Amortization for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of $34,696 has been reflected as facility lease in the statement of functional expenses. The ICC leases a copier under an operating lease agreement with terms expiring in June 2015, which includes monthly payments of approximately $694. The future minimum lease payments on the agreement are $8,328 for the year ending June 30, 2015. 5. RESOURCES DEFERRED FOR SINGER TOURS In conjunction with the ICC music education program, each year singers are offered opportunities to perform in other parts of the United States and /or abroad. During the year, singers may participate in various fundraising efforts and a portion of the profits are set aside for each singer's current or future touring costs. Separate accounts are maintained for each singer. The account activity consists of: charges for the tour, the credits for the fundraising, and the payments. Such monies received represent resources held in agency by the ICC, and are reported as unrestricted in the Statement of Financial Position and as cash flows from operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. The balances at June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $54,433 and $417,573, respectively. At June 30, 2014, all of the $54,433 collected was for future trips. 12 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2014 and 2013 6. NET ASSETS The financial statements report the changes in and total of each of the net asset classes, based upon donor restrictions, as applicable. Net assets are to be classified as unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. The following classifications are maintained: Unrestricted These include revenue and expenses from the regular operations of the ICC which are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and management. Temporarily Restricted The temporarily restricted net asset class includes assets related to donor imposed restrictions that have not been met as to a specified purpose or to later periods of time or after specified dates. Temporarily restricted net assets are comprised of the following at June 30: 2014 2013 Haddad Program $ 5,838 $ 5,838 Christel DeHaan (Fiscal Year2015 Expenses) 40,000 Nina Mason Pulliam (Franklin) 10,000 Helen Haddad (Columbus uniforms) 350 350 Miscellaneous Scholarship & Professional Development 2,130 Subtotal of funds for specific programs 58,318 6,188 For future operations 7,562 7,139 $ 65,880 $ 13,327 Permanently Restricted As discussed in Note 2, the ICC has an endowment held at the CICF. The principal of this investment will remain in perpetuity. The interest and dividends will be available to pay the expenses as appropriated by the Board of Directors of the ICC and is recorded as temporarily restricted until released for expenditure. Permanently restricted net assets were $25,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013. 7. DONATED GOODS AND SERVICES Donated services are recognized as contributions if the services create or enhance non - financial assets or require specialized skill, are performed by people with those skills, and would otherwise be purchased by the ICC. Volunteers also provide various services throughout the year that are not recognized as contributions in the financial statements since the recognition criteria were not met. Assets, fully or partially donated, are recognized at their fair market value. These transactions have been treated as non -cash transactions and are properly excluded from the statement of cash flows. 13 INDIANAPOLIS CHILDREN'S CHOIR, INC.

DONOR CONCENTRATIONS The ICC had contribution concentrations (greater than 10% of total support and revenue) from a donor for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of 10.2% and 11.0 %, respectively. 12.
