Our funding comes from many sources, including grants, member dues, special events, and ticket sales. And contributions from supporters are an essential part of our funding.

These funds allow us to continue to improve our programs and develop our affiliated ensembles such as the Cary Children’s Concert Choir, affectionately known as “C4”.  C4 is an inclusive program open to children in grades 3 through 6, and seeks to build a new generation of music-lovers in our community.  So your contribution today will have benefits that last for years!

Supporting members of CSC can participate at any of six levels, and receive special recognition in concert publications and other benefits. All donations to CSC are tax-deductible.

It’s easy to contribute — you can contribute online through Paypal by choosing Donate from the menu at left, or mail a donation with the pledge card below to CSC at PO Box 1921, Cary NC, 27512.   Thanks for your support.
