Where to Give
Annual Fund
The Brevard Music Center Annual Fund is the financial heartbeat of the organization. This general operating fund provides vital support to every aspect of the Music Center's daily life. These gifts address important expenses such as faculty salaries, music and instrument rental, facility enhancements and other expenses associated with keeping BMC healthy both now and in the future.
Scholarship Fund
Scholarship support is BMC's single-greatest need. Over 90% of all students attending our Summer Institute are awarded some level of scholarship support based on merit and/or demonstrated financial need. Gifts to BMC's Scholarship Fund help ensure that these young musicians have the opportunity for study at the highest levels of professional development.
A Challenge Among Friends
Never before in its history has Brevard Music Center undertaken such an essential and comprehensive initiative as A Challenge Among Friends. Launched in 2014, this phased effort has secured $15 million from hundreds of Music Center friends in support of the most critical facilities needs across our 180-acre campus: new student dormitories and practice facilities; new and refurbished faculty housing; updates to rehearsal and performance spaces; long-delayed paving and road infrastructure projects; the addition of our first year-round performance venue, Parker Concert Hall; and a new administration building to house our full-time staff, allowing us to renovate our former administration building and create a comprehensive student services facility, and more.
Endowment
Endowment funds are thoughtfully invested and only a portion of the earnings are spent each year towards scholarships and other important initiatives. Endowment gifts strengthen the long-term financial security that is required to ensure high quality educational programs and artistic performances year after year.
Sponsorships
Becoming a sponsor is one of many ways businesses and individuals can support the Brevard Music Center. We offer a wide variety of partnership opportunities. Sponsorships are available for performances, special events, products and services, new artistic initiatives, and more. Sponsors are included in BMC marketing collateral and other media, while receiving generous benefits to enjoy all summer season long! Business partners have access to a highly desirable demographic group, have opportunities to share their messaging, entertain clients in BMC's casually elegant environment, and much more.
