Gerry Kennedy, Producer - GMCSF Choral Society 3/25/22
There is nothing like the power of human voices raised in song to touch our souls and open our minds to new experiences. GMCSF audiences experience messages of love, inclusion, and celebration through the powerful voices of the largest men’s chorus in the southeastern United States. Your financial support is a vital tool in helping us reach more people, open more minds, and change more hearts than ever before. We are pleased to offer a range of ways that you can help us continue our mission at a time when our voices are needed more than ever before.
Ways You Can Give – Support Our Season: We welcome gifts of any amount. You can pay in one payment, multiple payments, or enroll in our easy monthly giving program. Choose a Naming Opportunity: Donate to support parts of our concert season or our office spaces. Also, learn how to select GMCSF as your designated charity on your Amazon purchases.
No matter how you choose to give, all our cherished donors receive exclusive benefits. Based on the level of your donation, these may include concierge ticket services, program and website listings, invitations to rehearsals, receptions, newsletters, priority access to the best seats, and more.
Boost your donation with a matching gift.
Thousands of companies and foundations in the United States currently match their employees' gifts to not-for-profit organizations. GMCSF is a 501 (c)(3). Workplace Giving is a great way to bolster your generosity and receive more benefits at no additional cost to you!
Contact your HR representative and inquire about your company's matching gift policy or search to see if your company matches donations! Email the completed matching gift form to our office along with your donation.
Like most nonprofit arts organizations, ticket sales only cover a fraction of the costs associated with our concerts, our community engagement programs, and our operations. Your financial support provides a solid foundation for us to serve the community.
Our treasured Virtuosi are truly the consummate artists in philanthropy and generosity. The Conductor’s Circle is a passionate community of supporters who generously invest in our season, enabling us to spread our messages of love and inclusion through song. Their support substantially sustains the Chorus and helps build our future.

Members of the club get benefits list for our Supporters level of giving, dedicated eblasts that give updates on the chorus and our progress, a GMCSF T-shirt, and access to a special season kick-off event.

We welcome your support on specific needs of the organization where your financial support will be recognized by associating your name with a specific project or need.
GMCSF offices have relocated to a new section of The Pride Center at Equality Park. Our organization occupies the entire second floor of Building B on the east side of the property. This move has tripled in size our existing space and provides sufficient room to accommodate our entire staff. We consolidated some of our storage so that our assets are secure and easily accessible, eliminating some of our off-site storage costs.
This office move provides a professional and welcoming space to meet with donors and other stakeholders and a conference room for regular meetings of the staff, board, and leadership teams. You can pay in one payment, a few payments, or you can easily pay your sponsorship through monthly giving.
Office sponsors will receive the donor benefits available for their corresponding level of giving. We will also feature you in our season program books in a stand alone listing. Those who take advantage of the naming opportunities will have their support recognized with prominent signage associated with the specific space they’ve sponsored. All donors will be recognized on signage in the reception area.
Tie your name to a specific creative component of our three-concert season and be a part of our art.
