"Voice for Voices" Endowment Campaign Giving Levels and Benefits

The Alfred Nash Patterson Fund is invested and managed by The Boston Foundation as a donor advised fund. Each year, Choral Arts New England determines the amount available for grants according to a formula designed to preserve the principal of the fund.

A donation to the "Voice for Voices" Campaign is a gift that will provide funding in support of choral excellence in New England not just once or for a single program, but in perpetuity. It is a gift of enduring impact.

We gladly accept pledges to be fulfilled over the course of the campaign. Payments can be made all at once or in several installments. All contributions during the life of the campaign will be included in determining the giving level. Please contact us for more information.

Maestoso: $25,000 and above

* Named grants are subject to mutual agreement at time of donation. Selection and awarding decisions for named grants are made using the same process as all grants; if for some year no suitable application is received that matches the designated purpose, the named grant might not be awarded that year.

** Choral Arts New England will provide donors a choice of tickets to several excellent choral performances throughout New England.

*** The Patterson Associates is a new social and advocacy organization for supporters of the choral arts that will hold special events for members (including an annual meeting) and provide connections with and between leaders in the chorus community.
