Major Donor benefits

Why Support the Savannah Music Festival with a significant contribution?

You will play a major part in preserving and presenting live music of the highest quality. As a major donor, you receive recognition on specially chosen concert(s), access to preferred seating in reserved areas, invitations to exclusive major donor parties, the opportunity to meet world-class performing artists, and a host of other exciting benefits.

As with all contributions, but in a larger way, you will:

Support artists that preserve the indigenous music of our country and celebrate the musical traditions from all over the world through unique, one-time-only productions.

Teach our children about the arts and ensure the future of music education through SMF's free youth music programs for more than 19,000 students.

Expand opportunities for extraordinary and musically gifted young adults by supporting Swing Central Jazz, SMF's national high school jazz band competition & workshop, directly connecting talented students with renowned jazz professionals.

Provide the general public with greater access to high quality, live music by offsetting the cost of world-class performances by prominent musical artists.

Build a stronger community where arts play a vital role, thus providing social and economic benefits.

Call the Savannah Music Festival development office at 912.234.3378 x107 for further details on major contribution levels.
