Check with your company or corporate human resources department for more information on their matching program.

Sustaining Support

Unable to make a large donation all at once? Not a problem! Patrons have the option to become 'Sustaining Supporters.' Basically, donors will make their contribution in monthly or bi-monthly installments. The total yearly contribution will be reflected wherever recognition is announced. NO additional fees apply for Sustaining Supporters. In the donation area above, you will have the opportunity to make recurring/sustaining donations when you use our online donation system.

Anonymous Support

While the the band never shares its donors personal information, donors may still choose to remain anonymous. Anonymous contributors will not be listed in any the band publications or here on this website. The preferred method of anonymous giving is by money order or certified bank check made out to the Carlisle Town Band, Inc. If paying by personal check, donors should inclose a brief letter stating their wish to remain anonymous. You may also make an anonymous donation using our online credit card processing system.

Special gifts are a fantastic way to express your regard while also helping the the band. Donations can be made in the name of a loved one, a friendship, a family, a birthday, wedding, or graduation. Acknowledgment of special gifts will be sent to the recipient, to you, and will be posted on this website and in all concerts programs as requested.

Legacy Giving

This category of support is for those who wish to generously remember the the band in their wills or other estate planning. Anyone wishing to offer a legacy contribution should notify the the band of their bequest. A declaration of intent will need to be signed – which is a non-binding document that creates no legal obligation to you or your estate. There is no minimum commitment and legacy donors can remain anonymous if requested.
