benefits

The Concert Series cannot survive by ticket sales alone.

Please make a gift to the University Concert Series by phone, by mail, in person, or securely online here.

Your contribution to the Gift Fund goes directly into the operating budget, offsetting program expenses that ticket sales alone do not cover.

Or, when you contribute to the Herbert W. Schooling Endowment Fund, you are making a direct and unique investment in both the current operation and the future financial security of the University Concert Series.

And, an endowment has been created to allow for special projects that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Additional funds generated through the Special Projects Endowment Fund make performances that we could not normally afford because of high artist fees, such as artists like Itzhak Perlman, possible.  Other benefits funded by this endowment include increased outreach and community engagement with more time spent educating our children in the community, added events throughout the season, and much more.  Please consider making an additional gift to this fund today.

When you give, you can enjoy exclusive benefits including preferred seating, exclusive pre-concert receptions, invitations to the annual donors' reception, free ticket exchanges, tax benefits*, and recognition in our program.

Below are the details about these benefits and how you can become a member.

*A portion of your gift may be eligible for a charitable contribution.  Generally, that amount would be the difference between the amount you give and the services or goods that you receive, such as premium tickets, event invitations and other special items reserved for donors.  The Concert Series will apprise you of these amounts when your gift is received.  If you would like for more of your gift to be considered as a charitable contribution, certain benefits can be waived. 

Please make a gift to the University Concert Series by phone, by mail, in person, or securely online here.
