Money raised during PorchfestNDG 2023 will help fund artistic projects coordinated by the NDG Community Council.
The NDG Community Council is a not-for-profit organization that promotes, improves and sustains the well-being of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce community and its residents. The Council was instrumental in helping Porchfest get off the ground in 2015 and has championed the fest by providing logistical and material (and emotional) support ever since. Porchfest's success would not have been possible without the continued support of the Council.
The Council is an active member of many sectoral tables, including the Arts and Culture Table. The Table's mission is to support and promote the arts and celebrate the cultures of NDG by supporting projects and initiatives through collaboration, facilitation, training, brainstorming, grant writing, letters of support, and the organization of art projects throughout the community. In addition to Porchfest, the Council has helped coordinate NDG Arts Week, Opera in the Parc, the Sherbrooke Forest and NDG Art Hives, and Hip Hop You Don’t Stop.
The Council helps create a thriving, sustained, and engaging arts and cultural scene in NDG that welcomes all members of the community; funds raised during Porchfest will help bring about this vision!

Le Conseil communautaire de NDG est un organisme à but non lucratif qui consiste à promouvoir, à améliorer et à maintenir le bien-être de la communauté de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce et de ses résidents. Le Conseil a aidé à démarrer Balconfête en 2015 et a continué à aider le festival en fournissant un soutien logistique et matériel (et émotionnel) depuis. Le succès de Balconfête n'aurait pas été possible sans le soutien continu du Conseil.
Le Conseil est un membre actif de plusieurs tables sectorielles, incluant la Table des Arts et de la Culture. Le mandat de la Table des Arts et de la Culture consiste à promouvoir les arts et à célébrer les cultures de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce en soutenant les projets et initiatives de nos membres par la collaboration, la facilitation, la formation, le remue-méninges, la rédaction de demandes de subventions, de lettres de soutien et l’organisation de projets artistiques dans la communauté. Jusqu’à maintenant, la Conseil a soutenu des projets locaux tels que la Semaine des Arts, Opéra dans le Parc, les Ruches d’Art de Sherbrooke Forest et NDG, et Hip Hop You Don’t Stop.
Le Conseil espère ainsi favoriser une scène artistique et culturelle prospère, soutenue et engageante à NDG qui accueille tous les membres de la communauté. Les fond recueillis durant Balconfête contribueront à concrétiser cette vision!
