As a not-for-profit arts organization, we depend on a broad network of public and private support. Like all arts groups, the cost of a ticket pays for less than 50% of the total cost of putting on a show. Your donations enable us to perform in the finest halls, work with the most talented artists and maintain a leadership role in the Northeast Ohio arts community.

How can you give to the NCMC? There are many opportunities to become involved in the life of the Chorus. Volunteer, become a donor, sing with us, come to our events.... Explore the options below and discover how you can play a starring role.

Individual Giving
Hundreds of people like you are current donors to the North Coast Men's Chorus, in amounts ranging from $10 to $10,000. Financial support from individuals is the cornerstone of our success. It gives us the opportunity to sing newly commissioned music and beautifully arranged masterpieces. It also allows us to present visiting artists, perform at community and benefit events, and support the needs of our members. The North Coast Men's Chorus is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.

Matching Gift
Matching gifts are a wonderful way to provide added support to your donation. To make a matching gift, follow these three simple steps:

1. Contact the personnel office at your company to check your company's Matching Gift policy.
2. If they provide a Matching Gift form, fill it out.
3. Mail the completed Matching Gift form to us (North Coast Men's Chorus, P.O. Box 770664, Cleveland, OH   44107-0664) along with your donation.

More than 1,000 companies and foundations in the United States currently match their employees' gifts to not-for-profit organizations. Under a corporate matching gift program, cash gifts, or gifts of volunteer time from a company's eligible employees, are matched with company or corporate foundation funds.

It all adds up to a great way to increase your contributions and receive more benefits at no additional cost to you! For more information on supporting us, contact giving@ncmchorus.org.

Planned Giving
It's sad to think that most people who die do not leave a will. If that were to happen to you, the State would not recognize your partner, family of choice or friends, let alone charities with which you share the same goals. Your estate represents the accomplishments of your lifetime and security for those dear to you. By giving to the NCMC, you create a permanent remembrance while seeing that your own philanthropic goals are fulfilled.

Your gift can help the NCMC continue to use the power of music to create a world that accepts and values its gay and straight people and their relationships. You can be assured that your gift is managed carefully and prudently.
