Impact Reports

VIBE Arts believes strongly in accountability and transparency while supporting its mission of impacting the lives of young people in Toronto’s neighbourhood improvement areas. For this reason, we create annual impact reports providing an overview of donations and how they were used to accomplish objectives. These reports provide a closer look at VIBE Arts programming and help donors understand how their contributions impact the work that we do.
