Box Canyon Circle

Amplifying the impact of our top supporters.

A small group of TCM's lead supporters — donors at a level where the work moves on relationships, visibility, and matching, not just on the dollars themselves.

More impact

Same donors. A new way to channel their giving.

The Box Canyon Circle is a new way of recognizing and channeling the contributions of our top supporters, who have always been behind the scenes, quietly underwriting seasons that wouldn't have happened without them.

We find that at this level, there is a connection to the organization and its mission in a way that is personal for each contributor. Some donors host concerts in their home and invite everyone they know. Others underwrite shows at the Palm, or make special requests for programming.

The Circle introduces ways to do more with the same generosity — underwriting and donation-matching opportunities that rally and motivate the rest of the community, named program sponsorships, multi-year pledges that change what we can plan, and recognition that fits the scale of what our top donors support.

We truly believe that this new program will support a stronger chamber music community, creating new connections and opportunities. Donation matching will increase excitment, momentum, and attendance of underwritten concerts, multiplying the impact of contributions, and the reliable support of our Circle of trustees will allow us to pursue new collaborations and projects for the community.
