Several choristers have asked how to proceed when a friend, relative or associate, or the a chorister themelves, wishes to make a donation to the chorus. Please know that all donations to the chorus will receive a tax receipt from the Calgary Philharmonic Society, allowing a tax deduction for the donor. Also, please ask whether a donor works for a company that does "employee gift matching".
Many of Calgary's large companies will have the Calgary Philharmonic on their list of charities that qualify for matching all or a portion of an employee's charitable donation. We can turn $100 into $200 as easy as that.
If the donor directs the donation to the Forte Program, then the CPC will receive the benefit. All donations to the Forte program are flagged by the development office for the chorus's exclusive benefit.
Any cheques should be made out to " Calgary Philharmonic Society - Forte Program" and a note may be made at the bottom "Calgary Philharmonic Chorus".
Donation Cheques, or any other inquiries about the donation process should be directed to:
