Donor Benefits

Savannah Music Festival (SMF), hailed as “…one of the Southeast’s most creative cross-cultural musical events” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution), remains steadfast in our commitment to programming world-class live music that entertains, educates, inspires, and unites our community and to providing an unparalleled patron experience.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit music organization SMF relies on the support of generous donors and sponsors, without whom the festival and our education programs would not be possible. We are pleased to offer a wide variety of benefits to recognize and thank our donors for their incredible support.

If you should have any questions about donor or corporate sponsor benefits or would like assistance making a contribution, contact SMF Development at development@savannahmusicfestival.org or 912.234.3378 x106.
