Give or Pledge to Our Endowment Fund
 Musicfest, now well into our second decade, has established a major endowment program. Our goal is to have $10,000,000 under management by the end of this decade.
This is an aggressive, yet attainable goal, as the purpose of our mission is pure and the generosity of our supporters is genuine. One estate has already made a major contribution and under prudent, professional management The Musicfest Endowment is growing that gift daily.
We recognize and honor those who pledge funds from their estate or make current contributions by welcoming them into the Musicfest Saguaro Circle, a circle of friendship which reflects our immense appreciation.
To learn more about The Musicfest Saguaro Circle and The Musicfest Endowment Fund, call us at 480.488.0806.
Give a Grant to a Musicfest Program of Your Choice
Many corporations and organizations use grants to Musicfest as powerful tools in building community relations with their neighbors, especially in the area of youth education. The Desert Foothills Woman’s Club, The Ingebritson Family Foundation, The Kiwanis Club of Carefree, Scottsdale Cultural Council and The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust are five of our major Grant partners.
We always need more and look to join with any person or organization you may recommend.
All grant funds go towards enhancing our Festival concerts and expanding our Youth Initiatives.
Call us at 480.488.0806 for more information on grant opportunities.
Become a Festival or Concert Sponsor
Only 40% of the cost of a Musicfest Festival Concert is covered by what we charge for tickets. To make up the difference, we rely on the generosity of our Festival and Concert Sponsors.
Sponsorships of Festival concerts range from $3500 to $10,000. We also offer sponsorship opportunities to underwrite a Concert Series within the Festival at a cost of $10,000 each. The four Series are “Tomorrow’s Stars Today,” “The Jazz Series,” “The Phoenix Symphony Series,” and “The Musicfest Festival Orchestra Series.”
Be assured that multiple marketing, personal, and company-wide benefits are available to you with your sponsorship and that we will tailor them to best suit your desires.
This is a partial and ever-growing list of our Festival 2005 Sponsors.
Concert sponsors:
The Arizona Republic; Ceasor Insurance Consultants; Cameo Cleaners; Four Seasons Resort/Scottsdale; Hodson Jewelry Galleries; Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary; Peter Slocum/A.G. Edwards; Robinson, Tigue, Sponcil & Associates; Russ Lyon Realty; Bob and Marcia Wolff.
Additional support from: Herman & Sons Piano Merchants; King Estate Winery; Safeguard Security; and Southwest Gas Corporation.
