The Nipissing Country Music Association (NCMA) is a membership-based, not-for-profit organization committed to the promotion and recognition of Nipissing Country Music.
Built upon the foundation to educate, elevate and celebrate Canadian talent, the NCMA progressively heralds the spirit, community and creativity that country music fosters.
NippisingCMA is a not-for-profit member-based organization, governed by a volunteer, unpaid Board of Directors. The Association was incorporated without share capital under the Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 25, 2010, and prior to being incorporated, the NippisingCMA operated as an unincorporated not-for-profit entity formed in 1990.
In today's competitive marketplace, having a strong infrastructure and support system is crucial for Ontario country artists to thrive, especially given the overwhelming dominance of U.S. artists in the country music genre. By providing these opportunities, the NippisingCMA is helping artists improve their skills, gain exposure, and compete at a higher level.
In addition to advancing arts & culture in Ontario, we are committed to supporting local charitable initiatives. Through our events, we strive to not only entertain, but also, to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
Our team works with local stakeholders to adapt our strategies, based on the evolving needs of each community.
This ensures we effectively allocate our resources and efforts, providing a sustainable and transformative impact and aligning with the community's values and culture.
A portion of the proceeds from each event is donated to a local charity that alleviates the effects of living in poverty and disadvantage, such as food banks, community kitchens and community living organizations.
We believe that music has the power to bring people together, inspire creativity, and foster a sense of belonging. By organizing affordable live music events, we aim to make these experiences accessible to all, regardless of their age or financial situation. We create a space where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy the magic of live music and NippisingCMA maximizes its platform to make a difference.
We invite all to join us in our aim to support Nipissing country music creators, build vibrant communities, and make a positive impact on the lives of individuals. Together, we create opportunities for everyone to live a better life in a more inclusive and thriving community where music and charitable efforts go hand in hand.
Our sponsors and donors have really made a difference in keeping us alive as well, so we have to say "hats off to them".

We had a great and successful 2019 so let's make 2025 even greater.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for generating more funds, please contact us.
Before anyone approaches a merchant or business about a donation or similar, could you please contact us first, so that we can make sure the business has not already been contacted, plus we can keep track of everyone and that way no one will be approached more than once. At this time, we would like to thank everyone for their help and suggestions.
On another note, please check out our brand new location for our "Wall of Honor".
