General Giving
Unrestricted Gifts – Unrestricted Gifts may be used for any appropriate expenditure but are customarily used to supplement ticket and advertising revenues to pay concert production costs and to accomplish the other goals summarized in our Vision Statement, including commissioning new works, engaging in outreach programs at assisted living and similar facilities, and giving scholarships to qualified college-bound musicians from the East End.
Directed Gifts – Directed Gifts are restricted to a stated purpose, such as the Scholarship Fund or a specific upcoming concert such as the Brahms German Requiem (2009). Your Directed Gift will help to offset the production costs associated with a particular concert, including the cost of professional orchestras, guest soloists and guest conductors. Interested donors may wish to consult one of the Choral Society’s board members or officers before making a Directed Gift.
Honorariums & Memorials – An honorarium is a contribution to the Choral Society in honor of a friend or family member to celebrate special occasions or to recognize him or her by making a meaningful gift in his or her honor. A memorial gift is made in memory of a loved one to celebrate their life while expressing your sympathy to the family for their loss. The Choral Society will send a tasteful acknowledgment to the person you are honoring or to the family of the deceased, informing them of your generosity, and you will receive a grateful acknowledgment of your gift.
