BSO MEMBERS: BEYOND THE CONCERT WHAT DOES MY GIFT SUPPORT? Your gift supports every aspect of the BSO’s work, from the concert hall to the classroom and throughout the community. You’ll help us rent the scores for the music you love to hear, provide music lessons and mentorship opportunities to young musicians and so much more. You are so important to us! WHY DOES MY GIFT MATTER? You may not know that ticket sales cover only 40% of the BSO experience, and we rely on donations of all sizes to make up more than 60% of the BSO’s revenue. Your gift is essential and impacts the success of the entire organization. HOW DO I MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF MY GIFT? If you work for a company that matches charitable contributions, you can ask your company to help the BSO by matching your gift. A matched gift from your employer may even upgrade your membership level! y b O n S o B i t R p i U scr O Y b t u r s r o u p o p y u s h t i e s w a ing e l P nat do If you’d like to sustain music on an ongoing basis, the BSO also encourages monthly giving.
