Each year, the Peninsula Music Festival must raise 20% of its operating budget through individual donations from people like you. The money raised from our annual fundraising drive helps make up the difference between what is earned from ticket sales, program book ads, concert sponsorships and endowment interest and what it costs to produce our symphony season.
If you've given in the past, please renew your gift to the Festival. If possible, please consider increasing your gift to assist with our increasing costs for musicians, guest artists, printing, postage and of course rent to the Door Community Auditorium. If you've never given, please consider making a donation. Your help is needed.
Your gift is well invested:
- PMF is one of only two fully professional orchestra's in the entire state of Wisconsin - the Milwaukee Symphony is the other orchestra.
- Over 80% of all revenue for the Festival goes right towards the artistic product - you see and hear your investment every time you go to a concert!
- Every musician who performs in the Festival Orchestra pays for their own transportation and housing for the full three weeks of the Festival.
- 50% of the orchestra, and Maestro Yampolsky, contribute to the PMF Annual Campaign each year.
- The PMF gives back to the Door County community through its scholarship program and its internship program as well as educational outreach opportunities in the Door County Schools.
- The PMF still has a $28 ticket and offers 1/2 off to children and students for all tickets to any concert throughout the year.
- The PMF staff is fully professional with training and experience in the field of non-profit management. There are only two full time year around staff members running a $600,000 business.
- Every member of the PMF Board of Directors is a subscriber and a contributor on an annual basis. The board is active and involved in the finances of the Festival.
A strong artistic product, a financially sound organization, a professional orchestra, board and staff AND fifty three years of great music all combine to create the Peninsula Music Festival. Please make your donation to the Annual Campaign and help ensure that the PMF will bring great music to Northeast Wisconsin for at least another fifty years!
You can donate by calling the Festival Office direct at 920-854-4060 and charge your donation by phone.
Thank you for your support of the Peninsula Music Festival!
