Donation drive update

12/01/08: Donation drive update

Yes, even in the festival's 36th year we still depend heavily on private donations! Each fall our administration and board membership works hard on (entirely) re-generating our annual operating funds. Private donations mirror the income we make from season concert ticket sales, which together amount to just under 50% of our budget. . . . Furthermore, of course we value our donors financially, but for moral support we also value our supporters numerically. Today's report on the status of our donation drive:

• 50% of our required donation INCOME has been pledged/paid (Treasurer's favorite number :-)

• 50% of our desired NUMBER of donors have pledged/paid (Artistic Director's favorite number :-)

As you can see, we are far from our goals and appreciate YOUR support at every level.

Here is our donation pledge form: Pledge Form (pledges only, no payment made or required on this form).

P.S.: To go ahead and make a payment, you can mail it to us as a check (P.O. Box 482; Santa Cruz, CA 95061) or call us to pay by credit card (831-457-9693)

P.P.S.: Donation drive report of 11/15: only 20% donation income and 35% donor responses. Please keep your support coming!
