Your Support is Critical
Each year, Baroque on Beaver must raise at least 33% of its operating budget through individual donations from people like you. The funds raised from our annual fundraising drives help make up the difference between what is earned from other revenue (ticket sales, program book ads, concert sponsorships, grants) and what it costs to produce our Festival season.
If you’ve given in the past, we would really appreciate a renewal of your gift to the Festival. If possible, we hope you’ll consider an even greater gift to assist with our ever-increasing costs to support our world-class musicians, guest artists, staff, housing, transportation, music rental, marketing, operations, and a variety of other miscellaneous expenses.
If you’ve never given, please consider making a donation. With our combined strong artistic and administrative professionals, a committed Board, and sound financial management and growth, we have been able to bring 24 years of Baroque on Beaver to our beloved island. We need your help to ensure we can continue to bring great music to the Beaver Island community for many years to come.
We invite businesses and individuals to personalize their support of Baroque on Beaver and the Beaver Island Performing Arts Alliance by sponsoring an artist, concert, or area of need. By becoming an Advertiser or Sponsor you ensure that the Beaver Island Performing Arts Alliance will be able to provide great musical and cultural performances, educational programs, and community outreach. Your support is a visible statement to our patrons of your commitment to the Beaver Island community and Northern Michigan.
