How We Pay for the Band

Some of our funding comes from concert proceeds, dues and other contributions from members.

We also receive grants from various individuals and organizations.

Our major source of funding, however, is from YOU. With an annual operating budget of $15,000 we depend on your generous contributions to our organization towards General Operating Support.

Instead of a cash contribution, often there can be significant tax advantages by donating securities or other assets directly to the Band. Another creative contribution method is to include us in your estate plans. (Contact your accountant or your attorney for details.)

Furthermore, many companies have a Matching Gifts Program. Check with your employer to see if they can multiply the value of your gift through such a program.

We thank you for any contribution you can make.

Remember that your donation is tax-deductible. We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under IRS § 501(c)(3). Our Tax ID is 92-0155965. Our Alaska Entity ID is 53259D. We will provide a receipt for anyone who provides us a name and address with their contribution.
