173735.36

In the aftermath of the pandemic, we need to raise $180,000 for our Permanent Endowment Fund by 2023, to compensate for losses accrued since March 2020, and to assure our future for seasons to come.

Will you step up in this exceptional time of need and help us raise this vital funding? Only with your help can Bach in Baltimore return next season when many arts organizations may not open their doors again.

Thanks to many generous donors, we have raised $173,735.36 toward our $180,000 goal. Help us to continue making strides to cross the finish line.

Tax-deductible donations to our Permanent Endowment Fund are held at the Baltimore Community Foundation, thus the intentions of your gift are always honored. Donations in any amount are welcome.
