MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE
|
Why Doesn't The Bozeman Symphony Perform in the Summer? Yes, we've been asked this many times before. After all, summer in Bozeman is exceptionally beautiful - the ideal place for a summer music festival! That's why a group of Symphony supporters, led by two former Board presidents, have put forward a matching gift challenge of $50,000. We need your help to raise $100,000, and every dollar you can give to this special appeal will bring us $1.50 closer to the dream of a Summer Concert Series! Qualifying funds for this special challenge must be from new donors or, in the case of existing donors, in amounts that exceed your current level of giving. |

ADOPT-A-MUSICIAN
The annual Adopt-a-Musician fundraising drive is now underway, and you can make a real difference in our community by sponsoring one or more of the extraordinary musicians of the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir. There are many musicians currently playing who have given decades of service, and some who were with the organization when it was established almost fifty years ago! Thanks to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of these musicians, Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley are better places to live. The musicians provide:
- Outstanding main stage performances at the Willson Auditorium
- Nurturing educational and introductory programs
- Two free Children’s Concerts
- Far Afield Program: community engagement throughout the region
- Festival of the Fourth, a free concert for thousands of south-central Montana families
We are asking for your support for the Adopt-a-Musician program because:
- Less than 35% of your Symphony’s budget comes from ticket sales
- Each musician practices an average of fifteen hours before the first rehearsal even begins!
- Your Symphony consists of more than 80 instrumental musicians and 100 choir members
We would like to give you the opportunity to show your support for the amazing musicians of the Bozeman Symphony and Symphonic Choir by contributing to our Adopt-a-Musician fund drive. A contribution to your favorite section, chair or voice, or Music Director or Choir Director is a great way of making our musicians feel especially appreciated.
You may download our pledge form and send it to our office, donate online, or contact the office at 406-585-9774 for more information.

PLANNED GIVING
We are fortunate to live in the beauty of the valleys and mountains that surround us.
We are doubly blessed to have in our small community the magnificent music brought to us by the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Choir. For 47 years, the commitment of generations of Bozeman Symphony supporters have helped the Symphony inspire, entertain, educate and involve south-central Montanans. We believe that music can be a powerful element in everyone’s life.
The Bozeman Symphony is building for the future while managing the present. Planned giving by Symphony supporters is an integral part of ensuring our ability to continue to bring quality live orchestral and choral music and educational programming to our community.
Planned giving is a method of supporting the Bozeman Symphony that enables donors to make larger gifts than they could ordinarily make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for nonprofit organizations in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.
Click here to view our brochure on planned giving. The purpose of this brochure is to describe a variety of approaches to planned giving that could benefit the Bozeman Symphony over the long term.
