Invest in the Bach Choir's Future

Your gifts to our Endowment Fund, undesignated or designated to any of our special program funds, will sustain the choir's legacy of musical excellence and innovative youth and community engagement programming for years to come. Donations provide for the long-term support of existing programs and help advance new special projects. Planned or outright endowment contributions to special funds like these will help us fulfill our vision for the future of the Bach Choir.

  • General Endowment Fund
    Gifts to our General Endowment Fund support our mission and vision for the future of the Bach Choir. Your undesignated gifts to this fund allow us to determine the best use of your gift.
  • The Bel Canto Youth Chorus Fund
    Gifts to our Bel Canto Endowment Funds enable us to enhance our youth engagement and educational initiatives and programs to cultivate the next generation of choral enthusiasts.
  • Greg Funfgeld Family Concert Fund
    This fund supports our collaborative family friendly concert, which was named in 2019 in honor of Artistic Director and Conductor Greg Funfgeld, who initiated these imaginative educational concerts in 2000.
  • Creative & Media Collaborations Fund
    Contributions to this fund honor former Executive Director Bridget George for her 24-year tenure and impact in cultivating strategic creative collaborations. The fund supports and expands the Bach Choir's continuing legacy of connecting people to the music and programs of the Bach Choir in new and relevant ways through creative collaboration, outstanding audio and video recordings, and expanding media relationships, which help inspire and educate an ever wider and more diverse audience.
  • The Link Family New Horizons Fund
    The Link Family Fund is a fund to help the Choir enhance accessibility with broad latitude for current and future leadership to meet evolving needs and leverage opportunities to introduce new audiences to the music of the Choir and to keep connected those unable to be present in person to experience performances.
  • Linda J. Dangelmajer Educational Outreach Fund
    This fund helps secure the future of all our educational outreach programs, including Bach to School, Bach at Noon, the Bach Choir Choral Scholars, and Family Concerts.
