Donations

As an independent 501(c)(3) non profit organization, the Virginia Glee Club receives no direct support from the University. Some funding comes from tickets sales and grants, but the majority of our annual funding comes from the generosity of our alumni, friends & family so that we may continue to provide outstanding musical experiences for our members and audiences! There are many ways in which you can help!

Annual Season Sponsorship

Ticket sales cover only a portion of a performance ensemble’s expenses each year. We rely on Annual Season Sponsorship to cover operating expenses - from paying our staff and renting performance venues, to buying office supplies and sheet music. Glee Club Circle ($2,500 or greater) Benefactor ($1,000 - $2,499) Patron ($500 - $999) Sponsor ($250 - $499) Supporter ($100 - $249) Friend ($50 - $99)

Tour Fund

Donations to the Tour Fund are used exclusively for tour expenses, allowing Club to spread its message of ‘Harmony, Love and Brotherhood’ far and wide. You're donation will help pay for travel and lodging expenses, lessening the cost of travel for our members.

Virginia Glee Club Endowment

The Virginia Glee Club is fortunate to be the benefactor of an endowment created in 2006 and administered by the Virginia Glee Club Alumni and Friends Association to ensure the financial future of Club. Contributions to the VGC-AFA Endowment will be preserved, using investment income to support core expenses in future years, allowing the Club a secure base from which to grow.
