Fund Raising

The challenge for obtaining financial support intensifies each year even as we plan the next series of superb performances, provided at low cost, that have become the expectation of the Placitas Artists Series concert-goers. Historic public funding is shrinking annually and we need your help more than ever. Please consider contributing in one of the following categories:

• Friend                (any amount up to $99)
• Benefactor         ($100-$299)

• PAS Associate   ($300 and above)

Concert Sponsorship:  $600 and up  ~  Acknowledged in our program, on our Sponsor Board, on our web-site, and in news releases.

100% of concert sponsorship go to musicians' fees and concert expenses.
