GIVE BACH
Help Us Make Great Music in Great Spaces
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT: For 37 years, Bach in Baltimore has enriched our community with
outstanding musical performances and education through our First Sunday & Beyond Bach Concert Series.
Please consider a gift to Bach in Baltimore to sustain our Baroque musical performances and educational programs
In addition to supporting our well established First Sunday Concerts, your donations support our three unique community programs across Maryland.
- Our Community Outreach Program organizes free concerts for our elderly in local retirement communities.
- Our Student Voice Exchange program, invites Maryland school and university choirs to perform live with us and offers the unique opportunity to work directly with Maestro Dimmock.
- Our Emerging Artists Program selects each season young talents to perform with us and helps build their resumes.
Ticket sales cover only 30% of our expenses. Despite our incredible volunteers and low administrative costs (7%), we must rely on donors, advertisers, and supporters to keep ticket prices low and hire top musical talent. We need to raise $150,000 annually.
Help us reach our goal of raising $1.5 million by 2030. Donate to the fund of your choice.
Bach in Baltimore is a tax-exempt organization, so your charitable gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

DONATE TO THE FUND OF YOUR CHOICE
It is our most vital fund as it covers our day-to-day bills and allows us to function.
Gifts in any amount are welcome by cash, check, online donation, or appreciated stock. You can even become a Sustaining Member by pledging a monthly donation to Bach in Baltimore.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 each year. Will you help us reach this goal?
the T. Herbert Dimmock Fund.
Managed similarly to an endowment, the principal is securely invested but available to the organization in the event of an emergency (such as the past pandemic). The funds interest distributions are made available to the Music Director each year for special projects of his choosing. The greater the principal of the fund, the greater the annual distributions – and the more significant the projects our maestro can launch each season!
Our objective is to raise $30,000 each year ($250,000 by 20230) to supplement our annual budget and initiate new projects determined each season by our Maestro. Help us reach our goal by donating generously.

Our Permanent Endowment Fund is held at the Baltimore Community Foundation to ensure your gift is always respected.
The more our Endowment Fund grows the greater each annual distribution will help pay for our programming and most importantly cover the talent costs for each season AND allow us to keep our ticket costs down.
To help secure our future we need to see our Permanent Endowment Fund grow to $800,000 at which time the annual interest distributions will cover 20% of our season’s annual budget. As of April 2024, our Permanent Endowment Fund stands at $417,000.
Our objective therefore is to raise $55,000 each year for the next 7 years,
