The Sound of Ability: Blind Musicians Community Recording Project
Innervision FM seeks support for "The Sound of Ability," a project that will empower blind and disabled musicians in the Denver area to create and share original music and stories with the community.
Using a portable recording setup, Innervision will host a series of accessible recording sessions where blind and disabled artists can record original songs, spoken-word performances, and personal stories about overcoming challenges and pursuing their creative dreams.
The project will culminate in a free community listening event and a special broadcast on Innervision FM's podcast and social media platforms. The recordings will highlight the talents, creativity, and resilience of disabled artists while educating the public about accessibility and inclusion.
Funding will be used to purchase portable recording equipment, transportation assistance for disabled participants, refreshments, and promotional materials for the community showcase.
Why is this project awesome?
Because it is led by disabled artists for disabled artists. It creates a platform for voices that are often unheard, builds community connections, and demonstrates that disability does not limit creativity. The project will leave participants with professional-quality recordings they can use to promote their music careers and inspire others.
Since 1990, Innervision has provided training in music, podcasting, broadcasting, and media production for blind and disabled individuals throughout Colorado. Under the leadership of blind President Johnnie Johnson, Innervision continues to create opportunities that promote independence, creativity, and community engagement.
A small grant of $10,000 can make an immediate impact by helping us record, broadcast, and celebrate the talents of blind and disabled artists right here in our community.
Each month we pick two people from the e-mail list to receive a free CD.
We offer an Innervision FM t-shirt, or hoody for businesses donation of $300 or more per month to sponsor our three-day-a-week podcast

We are asking businesses to donate $1,000 to sponsor both our Denver Comcast TV 56 show and the concert.
Businesses that Sponsors at this level will be featured on our Comcast TV show, reaching 26,000 viewers.

As we build from two days a week, moving into a 5 and 7 day, 24 hours a day podcast;
we are looking for DJ’s to voice tracks and some to do their show live from their house.
We are also looking for technical people to volunteer behind the scenes.
To raise money to run Innervision FM we need to find people who will find underwriting sources or businesses to buy blocks of time.
We are also looking for artists to sponsor radio spots to promote your concerts and events!
As we grow financially we hope to pay our grant writers, sales people, accountant, management, web person, technical people and announcers.
For the first six months or more all positions will be volunteer, so as you have time to help we greatly appreciate your time and expertise.
