Ways to Give

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to Music@Menlo’s continued success. You may join Music@Menlo’s Membership Circles by making a gift in one of the following ways:

• ONLINE: Utilize our secure, online donation form. Music@Menlo accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

• PHONE: Please call Sally Takada, Development Manager, at 650-330-2133. Music@Menlo accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

• MAIL: Send a check made payable to “Music@Menlo” to Music@Menlo, 50 Valparaiso Avenue, Atherton, CA 94027.

• A GIFT OF SECURITIES: A gift of appreciated stock may entitle you to valuable tax benefits. To arrange a transfer of securities, please call Sally Takada at 650-330-2133 or email sally@musicatmenlo.org

• MATCHING GIFTS: Contact your employer’s human resources department to find out how to double or triple the impact of your gift.

In addition to direct financial support, there are numerous ways in which individuals and organizations can contribute to the festival.

• IN-KIND DONATIONS: Contributions of goods and services that match Music@Menlo’s needs are greatly appreciated. While significantly reducing our operating costs, such donations also offer promotional opportunities for your business. The festival will have major expenses in the areas of food, wine, lodging, air travel, car rentals, and office equipment and supplies. Please contact Sally Takada at either 650-330-2133 or sally@musicatmenlo.org if you are with an organization that could become a Music@Menlo business partner.

• HOST AN ARTIST: Each season, approximately forty musicians will visit Music@Menlo, each staying anywhere from three days to two weeks. The festival is committed to housing musicians in private homes. This is a wonderful way for world-class artists to connect directly with the local community. If you can offer semi-private quarters with a private bath in your home, you will not only be helping the festival, but you’ll also be forming a new friendship.

• VOLUNTEER: A strong team of friendly, enthusiastic, and hardworking volunteers always is needed to help the festival run smoothly. Music@Menlo volunteers (“Friends of the Festival”) contribute their time in a variety of ways, including ushering at concerts, providing general festival hospitality at the Welcome Center, and helping with large mailings throughout the year.
