Support Us

Thank You for Your Support!

Although Sacramento Master Singers tickets sales are healthy – especially during our popular Christmas season – ticket revenues cover only about 60% of the funds required to produce our highly acclaimed concerts. Grants bring in about another 6%. We seek the support of inspired, generous individuals and business organizations to help us continue to present excellent choral music, to support our education outreach, and to feature the rich and varied programs of Dr. Ralph E. Hughes.

Endowment

Partner with the Sacramento Community Region Foundation, SCRF, to make your giving more effective, permanent, meaningful, and local. Find the fund that matches your philanthropic goals and name the Sacramento Master Singers as the recipient.

Options for Planned Giving

There are a variety of ways that you can be charitable after you are gone. Consider including charitable giving through your will or estate plan if you:

  • Need to preserve cash, but want to make sure the causes you care about are supported over the long term through an estate gift to your charitable fund at the Foundation
  • No longer need your retirement plan or life insurance and want to designate your fund as the beneficiary
  • Need income for retirement but want to shield assets from estate taxes through a Charitable Gift Annuity or Charitable Remainder Trust

Learn the key benefits of planned giving with the SCRF Planned Giving Fact Sheet (PDF). Please read A Guide for Growing Your Fund, SCRF’s brief publication on Planned Giving, for more information on bequests, retirement plan assets, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts.

Support the work of Sacramento Master Singers at the Race for the Arts. Find this event each August in William Land Park (across the street from the zoo, next to the pond). Each year, this fun-run or walk fundraiser helps support performing, literary, cultural, culinary arts and visual arts organizations, as well as school music, literacy, drama, visual, and culinary arts programs.

Donor Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a philanthropic vehicle established at a public charity. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit; and then recommend grants from the fund over time. An easy way to think about a donor-advised fund is like a charitable savings account: a donor contributes to the fund as frequently as they like and then recommends grants to their favorite charity when they are ready.
