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.

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.

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 [email protected] for assistance.
