Support the Festival

ANNUAL FUND

GIFTS ARE AT THE HEART of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. More than 70% of the Festival’s cash budget comes from individual, corporate, and foundation gifts, and nearly one-third of the essential goods and services needed to produce the Festival is contributed in-kind each year. Your Annual Fund gift will make a big difference in our ability to present music by living composers, commission new works, and highlight orchestral music as a living, growing art form that speaks to today’s audiences. The Festival would not be possible without the generosity of our donors.

ARTISTIC INITIATIVE RESERVE FUND

When you add an Artistic Initiative Reserve Fund gift to your Annual Fund gift, you help secure the future of the Festival and the vitality of the symphonic art form. Plus, we will add your name to the growing list of donors featured in the Festival’s Program Guide!
