Our Partners
Financial Supporters
FBF funding partners are a critical element for the continued success of our work. We acknowledge and thank them all sincerely.
Operational Partnerships
We also belong to a variety of networks around the world, in different sectors, which results in gains other than financial. We are proud to acknowledge these partnerships, where we are giving or getting in-kind support, receiving pro bono assistance from experts, exchanging knowledge and being able to be a conduit to support others, in all kinds of ways.
A drumroll and salute to these particular partnerships:

We are proud to be 20-year old partners with NMF, through the support of Norec. This has enabled us first to building music teaching skills with a 12-year project called Bands Crossing Borders, and now to extend our mutual knowledge of how music can be health promoting with the PULSE! Project. More on PULSE on the Training page.
Even though the global covid pandemic has restricted travel, the two organizations are still working together and the effect of this exposure is felt far and wide in both countries.

To support FBF staff and their family, this corporate wellness group provides free counselling and support on a range of current topics including employee psycho-social counselling, disease management, and wellness testing and screening. This is critical as FBF staff are on the frontline when it comes to working with social distress, and they need caretaking as well as our band members.
