Second Quarter-Century Campaign

In early 2009 the board of the Music Guild established a series of goals that we would work toward with the hope of achieving by the end of our 25th anniversary season (June, 2011). Little did we know that shortly after announcing these goals, a financial crisis would tear through the economy and severely reduce charitable giving to virtually every arts organization in the country. Thanks to our loyal subscribers, the Music Guild continues to flourish and our Second Quarter-Century goals remain the same. Please consider helping us meet our goals for the next Quarter-Century of the Music Guild.

What we want to do

• Develop music outreach programs such as an Annual Concerto Competition and an Annual Composition Competition for young performers and composers in the Westside area
  
  
• Reach out to low-income seniors and those with transportation issues to assist them in attending Music Guild concerts
  
  
• Increase our advertising and marketing budgets in order to increase walk-in patrons by 50% and Music Guild subscribers by 25% in the next two years
  
  
• Hire a part-time staff person to help coordinate Music Guild programs and activities and provide support with office administration, development, marketing and subscriber services
  
  
• Continue to engage the best musicians for The Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew's
  
  
• Continue to present first-class guest ensembles and soloists

What we need you to do

• Subscribe to the Music Guild or renew your Music Guild subscription at the Sponsor Level or above
  
  
• Join our Second Quarter-Century Campaign by making an additional, fully tax-deductible donation to the Music Guild of $100, $250, $500 or $1,000 over your 2008-2009 subscription level to help us get started
  
  
• Use our new 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status to help us secure matching grants from your place of business

From all of us at St. Matthew’s Music Guild, thank you for your support!
