Support Us
Donations and sponsorship of Festival performances and/or underwriting of distinguished soloists make possible our high artistic standards. The Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar, is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3). All contributions are tax-deductible.
Those who have supported the Festival with donations and sponsorships are acknowledged in the Festival program booklet and on this website.
Donors are recognized in these categories:
- Friend ($125–$299)
- Contributor ($300–$499)
- Donor ($500–$999)
- Patron ($1,000–$2,999)
- Benefactor ($3,000–$4,999)
- Partner ($5,000–$9,999)
- Philanthropist ($10,000 or more)
However, donations in any amount are gratefully accepted. There are several ways to make a donation:
- Donate online. Make a one-time or recurring donation online by clicking here.
- Donate by mail. You may send a contribution by check or credit card at any time of the year using our donation form.
- Underwrite part of the Festival. Contact us about the possibility of underwriting a major component of the Festival. Opportunities for 2020 are listed below for reference. The 2020 Festival was cancelled due to COVID-19, but we hope to revive the program, in full or in part as circumstances allow, for our 41st season (our 40th anniversary) in 2021.
- Include a contribution when ordering tickets by mail or online. (Ticket brochures are mailed in March, when online ticket sales also begin.)
- Many employers match charitable contributions from their employees. You may wish to talk with your HR representative to see if you can take advantage of a matching benefit.
- Attend the Winter Musicale. Mark your calendar to attend our primary annual fundraising
event, which occurs early in the calendar year. The 2020 Winter Musicale was held on February 16th.
