 Gifts to the Foundation

March, 2010


 Dear Friend:

 As you know, your Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia supports innovative programs, outreach to students, new audience development, and commissions of new music. I wanted to write to tell you that your support of the MFS Foundation makes this possible. I also wanted to tell you that your support is needed right now.

If you’re like me, letters asking for help get put aside for a “better” time. “Better” can mean a “less busy” or a “more economically comfortable” time, but allow me to suggest that right now is the best time to help. In the Fall I wrote to you about the work of our Society’s Foundation, and many of you did respond. For that I thank you. Now we look for help from everyone. If every member of the Society gave even a little, we would easily have our best year ever.

We make it easy to give. If you go to this web-page:

musicalfundsociety.org/gifts.htm

and click on “Donate,” in just a moment you will have done your part to help schoolchildren, performers, composers, and educators, all right here in the Philadelphia area. They are all depending on the members of the Musical Fund Society to come through.

You should feel very proud that this support takes place because of your support of the Foundation. We cannot fund every organization that applies for an MFS grant, and last year less than half received grants from us. Wouldn’t it be nice if two or three more musical groups could receive funding because of your support?

You and I joined the Society because we believe in the importance of music in Philadelphia. Our contribution to the Foundation makes this commitment come alive.

Please go to the website now, or send your check to the Musical Fund Society Foundation today. Your generous tax-deductible gift will make a difference in Philadelphia’s musical life. Thank you so much for taking part.

With my best wishes,







Kile Smith
President
Musical Fund Society Foundation
