Community Impact

Overview

5 Points Music believes that it’s important to use our platform for strengthening the vitality of our community while embracing the opportunity to collaborate with other organizations and causes that play a meaningful role in the world we live.

Partnerships and collaborations come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it is by hosting a special event, fundraising, marketing support, or any other strategic effort, 5 Points Music has worked in many capacities with organizations with diverse missions and causes. In working with organizations across political, religious, and social boundaries, we aim to foster a world that is empathetic and open-minded allowing us to unite around the values that we share, and divided further that which makes us different.

Broader Community Development And Collaborations

SWVA is home to many great organizations that have diverse and important roles in fostering the vitality and creativity of our region. Collectively our partners, supporters, audiences, artists, friends, and our families embrace a wide variety of political, religious, and social outlooks on life.

We celebrate this diversity, for it highlights the many colors that make up our cultural fabric. Though some organizations and causes may have areas in which we don’t always agree, we believe that more unites us than divides us. To that end, our partnerships and collaborative efforts are designed to focus on that very idea. Below outlines some of the organizations we have worked with in various capacities including, fundraisers, annual dinners, special events, and more.
