Mécénat Musica

Mécénat Musica is a cultural program by donors for donors created by donors in 2013.  Mécénat Musica encourages individuals to make an in-perpetuity donation of $25,000 to a cultural organization that is important to them and encourages philanthropic families to match these individuals’ donations with donations of $250,000.

Mécénat ClassicalValley

The net cost to a BC resident individual of a $25,000 cash donation after personal tax credits is $14,122; however, the net cost of a donation of public company shares (with large non-realized gains) can be as low as only $8,305.

A donation of $25,000 allows us to apply to the Mécénat Musica program for matching from participating donor families as well as for matching grants from Provincial and/or Federal levels of government.  This can increase the capital raised for each $25,000 donation to up to between ~ $70,000 and ~ $250,000!

This money is deposited into arms-length in perpetuity fund at the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal, generating ~4% interest annually which allows ClassicalValley to bring world class music to the Okanagan for years to come!

Your donation is a gesture like no other that enhances culture today and for future generations.

Thank you to our Founding donors! – Mécénat ClassicalValley ($25,000)
