We Need Your Support

Thank you for contributing to the success of Ives Concert Park.  The 2011 summer concert season offered the most impressive array of world-class performances in more than 35 years. Ives is the area’s premier nonprofit performing arts center and we have plans for another exciting season in 2012. Our success would not have been possible without your attendance and support.  As one of our patrons, you’ve experienced the excitement of seeing your favorite band, orchestra or artist at the Ives, and you truly know the magic of live music, dance and theatre on a warm summer night.

Your continued patronage of Ives Concert Park is vital to our future as a prospering nonprofit arts organization. Your support is also vital to our success in fulfilling our mission. When you join in giving with friends, associates and neighbors, your gift is far-reaching. We pledge that we will use your support wisely.

By working with concert promoters we are able to minimize our expense and liability, but through this arrangement we only receive $1 for each ticket sold. Concession sales cover a small portion of the Ives’ annual operating expenses so we rely on the tremendous generosity of our donors and sponsors to help sustain our performing arts programs.  Your contribution will also be used wisely to help underwrite the costs of free community concerts such as our 9/11 Remembrance event, as well as the Project Outreach complimentary ticket program for nonprofit social service organizations such as Housatonic Habitat for Humanity and Regional Hospice of Western CT. This income also funds desperately needed repairs to the park’s vintage infrastructure.

We hope you will consider a tax-deductible contribution by year-end. Click the "Donate" button above to make your donation today  . The site is 100% secure and private.  We thank you in advance for your commitment to Ives Concert Park.

Our Best Wishes for a Magical Holiday Season!
