Your donation in any amount is greatly needed to help us continue our good work in the community. The KVIS began in 2008, and since then KVIS members have generously given hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to help make our community the very best it can be. When you look at this website, you can see some of what we do each year, throughout the year. We are kind and big-hearted people like you, who are willing to take of our time, talents, skills, and financial resources to thoughtfully help make our neck of the woods a better place for ourselves now and for those who come after us. Just like running a home, it takes money for a non-profit to operate successfully. Gifts from you and others like you, make the work you see here possible. You can see more on some of our other websites like www.savethebeeswny.com and helpforloneliness.com. The KVIS is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation.

The Kenmore Village Improvement Society (KVIS) is an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit group. Each summer we present a free Children’s Concert Series. We strive to provide interesting and varied music in each Series, ensuring that we have music from different eras, of different styles and ethnicities. We also work to have as much gender balance as possible among the performers, showing the children that music making is for everyone.
This is where we have run into a problem -it is very challenging to achieve gender balance for the Concert Series because so many area bands are made up primarily of men. We have launched a ‘More Female Bands’ campaign to encourage more girls and women to form and join a band. The campaign features a contest that will take place next year around this time. The contest will award cash prizes to the top three all-female bands and is open to all female bands playing any style of music with band members of any age. How you can help:

Save the Bees WNYBee colonies have declined drastically in recent years. Without bees and other pollinators, humanity can not survive because there won't be enough food. You can help save the bees by taking the pledge and becoming a Bee Ambassador. Sign up today and learn more about what we all can do to help save bees and other pollinators.
