International Federation for Choral Music

The IFCM membership fees vary according to three country groups. These lists of countries were established with reference to each country’s Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Income as measured by the United Nations. A non-monetary development indicator was also used to determine the country groupings. The IFCM Board carefully reviewed these lists and a motion was passed to accept the three country groups, keenly aware that the past few years have been challenging for the choral world and its supporters.
