The Santa Clara Chorale is funded in part by grants from the City of Santa Clara and Arts Council Silicon Valley in partnership with the County of Santa Clara and the California Arts Council.
 

Donations

The Santa Clara Chorale appreciates and relies upon your financial support. Your contribution through concert attendance and donations makes a difference in our ability to continue providing local singers and audiences the experience of great choral music they might never encounter otherwise. What a great opportunity for all of us!

The funds the Chorale raises through ticket sales account for approximately 25% of our annual income. But as the costs for everything from purchasing music to hiring instrumentalists and soloists continue to rise, fund raising efforts are especially important.

Whatever the size of your gift, every cent goes to support our choral music programs. Your gift makes a difference -- please join us with your support. A contribution of $25 buys a major choral score for a singer; $150 pays for one evening of a rehearsal accompanist's time; $250 pays for ten scores, a soloist for a major choral work, or an instrumentalist; $1000 will pay for a solo or instrumental quartet.

Each year a focused effort is place on fundraising. The Santa Clara Chorale participates in the Arts Council of Silicon Valley Music & Arts Campaign. The Campaign is a collaborative effort that brings together diverse arts organizations in a unified annual fundraising campaign that emphasizes sharing and learning in addition to gathering resources. We thank those who participate each year with this campaign.
