Ways to Contribute
The Baltimore Choral Arts Society is a nonprofit arts organization, which relies on the encouragement and support of the community to sustain the high level of our performances, broadcasts, and educational programming.
We invite you to become part of our vibrant organization by contributing to our growth and success.
Annual Fund
Ticket revenues only cover up to 30% of the costs of a concert. Gifts to our Annual Fund are essential to our performances.
Additionally, a major portion of the operational costs of specific subscription concerts, school performances, and community outreach events are underwritten by sponsors, and we are delighted to recognize them accordingly.

Corporate Matching Programs
Double your donation to Baltimore Choral Arts while encouraging your employer’s philanthropic interests! Many local companies offer matching gift programs as a way of encouraging charitable giving among their employees. These programs typically match charitable donations made by employees, or may offer employee-designated donation programs. To make your donation to Baltimore Choral Arts go further, please check with your company’s Human Resources or payroll department to see if they offer a matching gift program.

Choral Arts Gala
Our annual fundraiser, Choral Arts Gala, formerly Ruby Cabaret, is supported by many individuals and businesses in the Baltimore region through sponsorships, live and silent auction donations, and attendees. This event helps to support our robust education programs, such as CoroLab and "Sing and Play with Choral Arts". Our next event, Some Enchanted Evening, will be held at The Baltimore Museum of Industry on Friday, April 12, 2024 at 6:30pm.

Endowment Fund
The up and down cycles of the economy would have a much greater effect on our programs without the safety net of our endowment fund revenues. They help to keep the quality and quantity consistently excellent.
In 2017, the Board established a special endowment fund in honor of Tom Hall upon his retirement after 35 years as Music Director. Gifts made to this fund are part of Baltimore Choral Arts’ endowment.

Planned Giving Program
Our Legacy Circle is becoming the core of our future. Planned gifts can be advantageous to both donor and beneficiary: they may save taxes and allow a higher income to the donor or larger gifts to heirs. Please consider a planned gift to BCAS in your financial and retirement planning.
Learn more about planned giving
Please contact Development Director Andrew Creech at 410-523-7070 ext 303 for information on any of these opportunities.
