Support the Evergreen Chorale
Gifts and Recognition Policy
It takes a lot of money to run a quality arts organization such as the Evergreen Chorale and to maintain Center/Stage. Revenue comes to the Chorale from ticket sales, program ads, the dues that Chorale members pay, grants from organizations such as SCFD and Evergreen Arts Council (EAC), and, last but not least, generous donations. To view our 2007 contributing patrons, please click here.
There are two ways to support us financially. Our primary tool is through the Giving First Foundation program offered by Community First Bank. The other way to support us is through the PayPal donation buttons below.
Evergreen Chorale is excited to announce our participation with Community First Foundation’s new online tool Giving First Foundation which connects donors to nonprofits.
GivingFirst is a program of Community First Foundation and was created to be a link between giving and the community. The Web site will enrich donors’ knowledge about the nonprofit sector and encourages charitable giving in metropolitan Denver.
Whenever credit card donations to Evergreen Chorale are made through GivingFirst, Community First Foundation pays the credit card processing fees (through the end of 2008), which typically are three to five percent per gift. This means that 100 percent of gifts made through GivingFirst.org goes directly to the participating nonprofit. What a great way to ensure your full donation goes to your favorite GivingFirst nonprofit.
