It's Easy to Contribute to The Annual Fund

It's so easy to make a contribution to the AGO Annual Fund - simply go to agohq.org - right in front of you on the home page is a red tab which says 'Contribute Now!'. Once you scroll down and make a contribution to the Annual Fund - keep on going - I'll be you never realized how many wonderful opportunities we have to be a part of something larger - whether it's sponsoring new organists, education and outreach, or competitions. Every small contribution makes a difference.

Anthony Thurman writes:

The AGO National Council leads by example and is asked to demonstrate 100% participation in supporting the Annual Fund each year. For all those who have already made a gift, thank you! We have until August 31 to reach our goal, then we start afresh on September 1.

In that same spirit of unanimous participation, please take a few minutes to contact each of your standing committee members, thank them for serving on the committee, and ask them to consider making a gift to the Annual Fund if they have not done so already. August 31 is the end of our fiscal year. All gifts count towards meeting our budget, whether they are modest or extraordinary. There is strength in numbers, not just in the amount given but also the number of gifts made.

The work of your committees is supported by the Annual Fund, so the better we can do, the better the Guild can do supporting our exciting programs and initiatives. “Help us help others” would be a good approach for your appeal.

Checks should be written payable to the AGO, memo line Annual Fund, and mailed to AGO National Headquarters, 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 1260, New York, NY 10115. Contributions can also be made online at www.agohq.org. All gifts to the AGO are 100% tax deductible to the fullest extent provided by law.

Thank you for your generous support and promotion of the AGO Annual Fund.
