Being a donor has its perks.

With your gift, you receive our gratitude—as well as special benefits that get you up-close-and-personal with YOUR May Festival!

Giving Levels

Internal Revenue Service regulations provide that your gift is tax-deductible in the amount it exceeds the value of any benefits you receive.

Your Impact

Over 155 years ago, the May Festival started a journey that not only prompted the building of Music Hall and the founding of the CSO, but also the founding of the heart and soul of the City that Sings. Today, the Queen City is simply flourishing with music and art – thanks to the continued support and nourishment of a founding and cherished non-profit – the May Festival.

While honoring the extensive roots and history of MF, YOU can play a critical role as a donor as we take an unprecedented step forward into a new Artistic model, ensuring vibrancy, relevance, and connectivity through the human voice.

Sustained Giving

Monthly installments allow you to spread your gift over the course of a year, creating an ongoing source of support of the May Festival. We can charge your card in installments or bill you according to your preference.

Planned Giving

Planned giving allows you to support the May Festival’s legacy in perpetuity by placing dollars in an endowed fund where the interest can either be used or reinvested each year as need arises. This giving strategy provides the most impact over the longest amount of time.
