Endowment Fund
Contributions to our Endowment Fund help to ensure the long-term success of MCMS . The Fund’s goal is to sustain and expand our International Series of concerts. Growth of the Endowment fund will ensure the continued legacy of presenting the highest quality chamber music on the Space Coast for the next 50 years and beyond.
General Information
Memberships and individual ticket sales cover only about 60% of the artists costs. Your generous donations help to keep our subscription and ticket prices quite low while bringing the finest chamber ensembles to the Space Coast.
The Melbourne Chamber Music Society is recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3). For more information on how to make a tax deductible donation please ask for our brochure on Donor Information.
Community Outreach
An additional use of some general fund contributions are our outreach events. MCMS works with schools in our local area to provide opportunities for the student musicians to hear some of our artists up close in an educational setting where the students have the opportunity to play for them as well as having some Q+A time with world renowned musicians.
