Business/Foundation Support

We support MCC because we believe MCC's commitment to sing for justice and peace is a powerful force for changing us as individuals and a society. As a local business, we want the community to know we share this important mission. Kim Gallagher, Continuum Physical Therapy

In order to fulfill its mission to sing as a community for the community, MCC is dependent on memberships, charitable donations, grants sponsorships and business underwriters.

MCC welcomes the opportunity to partner with local businesses, through the sponsorship of concerts or programs and the purchase of concert advertising. Special benefit packages can be developed to meet a sponsor's needs. Business support ranges from a small concert ad to concert sponsorships. In particular, Corporate Sponsorships are available at Silver, Gold and Platinum levels for each concert.If your business is interested in a potential partnership with MCC, please contact MCC at gro.sgnisccm%40ofni to set up an appointment.

Our 2020 Beneficiary is The Ripple Initiative. Their mission is

“to provide a community-based clearinghouse of goods and services for those struggling with poverty or homelessness, and to provide a platform for volunteering, donating, and contributing to the wellbeing of our neighbors.”

The organization serves individuals and families in the community in times of need. They believe in the community and envision a "neighbor helping neighbor" grass roots organization, with the goal to fill the gaps poverty creates in people’s lives. Often it is the simplest things that can change someone's financial forecast and help propel them forward. The Ripple Initiative believes that although you may need a hand up today, that won’t always be the case.
