Support the chorus

 

DONATIONS

As a not-for-profit organization, the chorus relies heavily on contributions from chorus and board members, grants and individual supporters to help us meet our financial obligations and to realize our dreams for the future of the chorus.

The chorus has financial obligations for putting on quality concerts. As we expand our chorus, we have growing expenses. For our immediate future and our upcoming concert, we hope that you would help us by contributing.

There are are many ways to donate to the chorus, and you can designate your donation either to our general fund or you can specify a category such as guest artists, musicians, sound and lighting, personnel expenses or sets. During the year, if you make your online purchases through the iGive.com shopping portal and select CHARIS as your charity of choice, a percentage of your purchase is sent to us quarterly. It's a nice way to donate without it costing you anything. You can write us a check or donate an item for our next silent auction. If you own a business, consider becoming a corporate sponsor. Or advertise your business in our program book. Of course, if you enjoy our concerts, another way to contribute is to come and bring lots of friends to enjoy our music and fun. To donate, please contact 636-379-1024 or email Vicki Staples. Thank you for your support.

DONATE WITH iGive

How would you like to donate someone else’s money to CHARIS?  Of course, we will take your money, too, but there really is a way to donate to the chorus without giving us a penny. 

If you make purchases online, you may already be buying from companies that will donate a percentage of the purchase price to your favorite not-for-profit chorus. Eddie Bauer donates 2.4% of every purchase.  If you buy New Balance shoes, check out Shoebuy.com.  No sales tax, no shipping and they donate 6.8%.  There are over 600 stores who will donate to the organization of your choice.

CHARIS is asking you to go to join the many supporters who are already donating Sears’, Lands’ End’s and J. C. Penny’s money to us.  Go to www.igive.com, register, and choose CHARIS: The St. Louis Women’s Chorus from the list of causes and go shopping.   Keep those checks coming in… and never reach for your own checkbook.
