Support

Donate

In order to successfully fulfill its mission to sing as a community for the community, Midcoast Community Chorus (MCC) depends on donations, grants, sponsorships, and business underwriters.

How does your donation help?

While our singers pay registration fees for each semester of singing, it barely covers the costs of music, venue rental, accompanists, and other materials. Since MCC’s policy maintains that everyone is welcome to sing with us, we offer partial and full scholarships, as well as flexible payment plans on an as needed basis.
The proceeds from our January concert support our critical operating expenses. Part of the proceeds from our June concert are donated to a selected local non-profit organization that is doing important work in our community. In order to be financially solvent, MCC seeks funds from a variety of sources.

Examples of how your support helps:

$50 will pay for the rental of 20 concert seats

$80 will provide a semester scholarship for one singer

$100 will rent chorus rehearsal space for one evening

$250 will support one concert musician

$500 will qualify the donor for Director’s Circle membership and support special projects

Annual and Special Appeals

Each year in late spring-early summer, MCC circulates a mailed Annual Appeal, asking for tax-deductible charitable gifts to support the organization’s operating budget.
We also make additional requests through our web page, concert programs, and special appeals, including Director’s Circle membership. Payments and donations can be made by using the Donate tab on this website.

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.

Members of the Director’s Circle (DC) are donors who ensure a strong foundation of annual support to sustain MCC and allow the organization to expand its vision to sing as a community for the community. Membership is extended to individuals who make a donation of at least $500 to MCC. The larger the gift, the greater the opportunities for MCC. All Director’s Circle donations qualify as tax deductible contributions.
Director’s Circle memberships, open to singers and non-singers, run from Fall to Fall. An annual highlight of the Director’s Circle is a special gathering where MCC staff share their musical talents and the Board President provides an update on activities and plans. DC members are encouraged to bring guests and prospective members to this special event. Throughout the year, MCC stays in touch with DC members through special communications; Director’s Circle members also receive advance notice of concert ticket sales.
You can join the Director’s Circle by using the online Donate tab on this website; if you have any questions please reach us at gro.sgnisccm%40ofni and a member of our Board or Development Committee will return your call.
