Still time for tax-wise strategies for 2025!

Make Your End-of-year gift!

Sure, it seems non-profits are “in business” to raise money. While non-profits “do good”, even with lots of volunteers and donated time & services, IT TAKES MONEY to cover expenses. WMPA has a long list of direct costs!  

Where does the money go?  ​

Here is a VERY short example listing of how/where just $2,000 goes:

• Venues cost money: rent for one WMP concert, or two dress rehearsals, at Masonic.
• Scholarships for youth: about one-third of the scholarships awarded to our young musicians. (Come to their free Saturday night concert Dec. 6th at Bishop Ireton HS, which we rent)
• Insurance: annual liability and other insurance 
• Music Rental: for scores for two concerts, depending on the pieces
• Principal wind/brass musicians: just one concert 
• Programs: Like the feel and info in the printed programs? Good. The printing alone costs that much for a season.

Perhaps you’ll consider DOUBLING your gift.  
We look to reach $100,000 by Dec 31, with our 2025 End-of-Year Campaign 

Some ABC's to save you money! ​

There is still time to arrange for special transfers.
