Honor Alliance: Season Donors
At the heart of CHICO’s mission lies our goal to be an indispensable partner to our community, providing enrichment through inspiring concerts, music education programs, and access for everyone. Under normal circumstances, ticket sales and other earned income cover less than 35% of our total operating budget. Now, more than ever, the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra relies on the generosity of contributors to continue our artistic excellence, educational programs, and much more.
We are grateful for our donors! You add to the cultural richness of our community, support working musicians, and encourage the next generation of musicians and audiences. We appreciate your gifts, and hope you will allow us to acknowledge you with the benefits below.
