2020 Annual Fundraising Drive
The 2020 Company of Fifers & Drummers Fundraising Drive is now open!
We hope this message finds you safe and well, and we recognize that 2020 has been a difficult time for everyone. Like the majority of our community, The Company of Fifers & Drummers has not had the benefit of our normal fundraising events. At the same time, our operating expenses remain. These conditions make our annual fund drive even more critical this year.
The Annual Fund is a once-a-year initiative to support the operating expenses of The Company of Fifers & Drummers. As you may know, The Company of Fifers & Drummers sustains itself and the Museum building by offering individual and corps memberships, however these memberships cover only a portion of the annual operating budget. The Company of Fifers & Drummers relies heavily on donations as part of its funding plan and supplements as much as possible by applying for grants. Our 2020 Annual Fund appeal goal is $6,000 and your tax-deductible donation will provide support for operating expenses including building upkeep and maintenance, utilities, web hosting fees, and insurance. Contributing to the fund allows continuous operation of The Company of Fifers & Drummers from year to year. If you are interested in more financial details you can read our Financial Disclosure.
If you are able, you can support us financially by making a donation of any amount through PayPal (recommended) or by sending a check payable to The Company of Fifers & Drummers, P.O. Box 496, Ivortyon, CT 06442.
