As the Giving Season Approaches…

I'm reaching out on behalf of Arizona Philharmonic to tell you about our annual End of Year Giving campaign, which begins on Giving Tuesday, November 28th, and runs through December 31st.

An End of Year Giving campaign is a focused fundraising effort to encourage donations before the end of the calendar year, allowing community-minded, arts supporters like you to make charitable contributions and receive tax deductions for the current year, and support a local non-profit organization.

About Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that encourages people to give back on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This year, Arizona Philharmonic has chosen to set its End of Year Giving campaign launch date on Giving Tuesday to share in the values of coming together to uplift non-profit organizations with missions that deliver important programs and drive change within the community.

Why it Matters

This giving campaign is crucial to Arizona Philharmonic’s financial health and ability to carry out our mission. A significant portion of our annual contributed income comes from individual donors during this time. Your gift helps us continue offering our Art 4 All accessibility program, music education programs for students in Prescott Unified Schools, and performances that uplift our community all year long. Most importantly, your contribution allows the Arizona Philharmonic to continue being a cherished part of Prescott's arts and culture scene.

I hope you will consider making a tax-deductible donation to Arizona Philharmonic beginning on November 28th. No gift is too small - whether it's $10, $100, $500 or more, your contribution makes a difference. Donating online through our secure website is simple and allows you to take advantage of the tax benefits this year. In addition to cards and checks, donations may also be made through an IRA account, or your Donor Advisory Funds account. Please see our website for more information at https://azphil.org/donate/.

If you have any questions about the End of Year Giving campaign or how your support will be used, please reach out and ask. On behalf of our musicians, staff, and board, thank you for considering a gift to Arizona Philharmonic this holiday season.

It’s Your Gift to Your Community

Sincerely,

Abby Coffey

Executive Director
