Art and Music are the drugs of choice
for millions of kids.
If we expect them to "just say no" to a
chemical high, we must recognize
the healthy alternative: their own creativity.
Demand and support the real anti-drug
program -- arts in education.


Support the Arts in Your Community!

You may become a contributor to The Encore Community Music Association and support arts in your own community! We welcome financial gifts from individuals or businesses. No gift is too small: any amount can help us continue to meet this vibrant need in the community.

Contributors will have their name or business listed in the concert programs (anonymous contributions are also welcome) and the satisfaction of preserving art and music in this country.

Consider sponsoring a concert by The Encore Community Music Association!

You or your business can sponsor a concert for only $750! This will help pay the orchestra's expenses for set-up and tear-down, transportation of equipment, the staff honorariums, and business expenses for one concert.

In appreciation, you or your business will be mentioned prominently in all advertising and print media mentioning the concert and a sign will be hung on stage at the concert and in the foyer showing your patronage. Your name will appear on the concert program cover, and you will receive a complimentary full-page ad in the handsome program booklet as well. Furthermore, we will strive to include your name in all community calendars and concerts listings, both in print and on the radio. We will give you banner advertising on our website as well as links to your website, certain to generate grateful traffic to your site. Our last concert attendance was well over 600 people. What a great way to show your support for the arts and your community!

We place a limit of 2 sponsors per concert. We will make every attempt to spread out concert sponsor throughout the season, but to secure individual sponsorship, we suggest you purchase both possible slots for $1500.



Sponsor a Scholarship!

We hope to begin giving awards this spring to recognize outstanding musicians and people involved with the orchestra. Please help us by agreeing to sponsor a scholarship for a deserving orchestra member. The cost is only $250. (High visibility chairs, such as concertmaster are available for $400.)

Scholarship recipients will have an entire season's membership fee paid, as well as a tangible reward such as a plaque or certificate. They will also be able to list the reward on college applications and the like.

If you desire, you or your company will receive high visibility as the scholarship will carry your name, be given in a public ceremony, mentioned in local newspapers, and listed on every concert program for the season as such:



Other gift opportunities exist, such as the giving of a specific piece of music. The Encore Orchestra is a non-profit organization. All gifts are tax deductible.



You may request further information from our General Manager, Mindy Niles.
