How to Give

The Chorale is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, based in Fort Collins, Colorado. Your support provides us with a large portion of our operating budget and keeps us singing. Additional funding comes from our annual fundraising campaign, corporate donations, ticket sales, program advertising, and foundation grants. Committed singers, united for a cause, have the power to make a difference in our communities. We are community-based and volunteer-driven, embracing a wide range of avocational singers. Under our creative umbrella, people from all walks of life come together to sing and make music simply because that is what they love to do. Through our concerts, events, and outreach activities, we actively demonstrate that singing is a life-long endeavor that brings fulfillment and enrichment to singers and audiences alike.

We are YOUR choir. Your financial support of the Larimer Chorale is an investment in our future, and in the future of the arts in your community. As we continue to provide the soundtrack to important life moments, we need your time, talents, and treasures to help us meet our goals. Through our concerts, events, and outreach activities, we actively demonstrate that singing is a life-long endeavor that brings fulfillment and enrichment to singers and audiences alike.

What Can Your Gift Help Us Accomplish?

The Larimer Chorale welcomes gifts of all sizes and thanks you for your support. Your gifts allow us to provide the Fort Collins community with high-quality choral music, as well as continue our outreach programs. All donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a letter of acknowledgment for your gift. Your donations, sponsorships, or planned gifts are valuable to us as we strive to:

• sustain our ability to hire orchestras so that we can sing choral masterworks;
• maintain our paid section leader program, which has made a significant contribution to the quality and preparedness of the chorale;
• build our Commissioned Work Fund -- as the creation of new music is a challenge and a pleasure that distinguishes us from most community choirs;
• develop our reserve fund to assure that we can weather emergencies or economic downturns; and
• establish an endowment that would sustain our Artistic Director position for years to come.
