I'm a business owner and interested in corporate sponsorship to Interlochen. How do I find out more?
Becoming an Interlochen Presents sponsor is one of many ways businesses can support Interlochen Center for the Arts. With hundreds of presentations each year by students, faculty and world-renowned guest artists, Interlochen’s power to inspire and entertain audiences is woven into the fabric of life in the Grand Traverse region. If you’d like to learn more about becoming an Interlochen Arts Festival sponsor, please contact: John Roddy at 231.276.4421 or john.roddy@interlochen.org.
I'm usually asked to increase my yearly gift to the Annual Fund. Why is that?
Annual operating costs at Interlochen Center for the Arts increase just like food, healthcare, and gasoline prices. As a result, tuition goes up each year, and so does our Interlochen Annual Fund goal to keep up with the need. The more we raise through the Annual Fund, the more scholarship dollars we have to offset tuition increases for students.
How much should I give?
The important thing is that you do give. Every gift is important. Whether your gift is $50, $500, $5,000 or $50,000, the most important consideration is that you choose to make a difference in the lives of the young artists at Interlochen. If you need to benchmark your contributions, the Annual Fund would like to be one of the top three charitable gifts you make this year. That will mean different amounts to different amounts to different people.
Does my gift have to be in cash?
No. Appreciated securities can be a tax-wise alternative to cash or credit card gifts. If you hold stocks or bonds that have appreciated in value (and that you have held for at least a year), you can give them to Interlochen and save taxes twice. Take a charitable deduction for their full market value and save the capital gains tax that you would incur if you sold them. Please contact the Philanthropy staff at 231.276.7623, or e-mail at philanthropy@interlochen.org for assistance.
What if I want to give to my scholarship, or restrict my gift to a specific department or program?
If you already know the fund name or department you would like your gift to go to, simply make a note in the Comment box on this donation form, and we will make sure it goes to the right place!
