Sponsors | Kingston Chamber Music Festival | KCMF

Support

Community support (individual donations, sponsorships, and grants) funds a majority of our budget, 65% in 2024. This support makes it possible for KCMF to price tickets affordably, to provide free admission to students, to offer scholarships, and to support music education locally. Without your support, this work would not be possible.

The Kingston Chamber Music Festival welcomes and encourages donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations. We are a 501(c)(3) organization and your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. All donations of $100 or more will be acknowledged in the festival program book.

Unless otherwise directed, donations are added to our Annual Operating Fund, where they support current activities. Donations may be directed to our Sustainability Fund. These donations are set aside and invested for the long-term. Income from those funds may be used currently, but the principal will be used only in the event of severe financial hardship. Our Sustainability Fund is professionally managed by the Rhode Island Foundation.
