New limited-time grant matches $100–$500 gifts
(ends 9/30/21)
It has been an immeasurable thrill hearing live music at Ravinia again, and our friends at The Negaunee Foundation know this, too, and have generously offered a “Pillars of Ravinia” challenge grant, matching dollar-for-dollar every $100–$500 donation to the festival’s 2021 Annual Fund, up to $100,000, from now until the summer season ends.
Every gift from people just like you who love Ravinia now goes twice the distance toward ensuring the continued magic of live music.
Ravinia is a pillar of summertime in Chicago, committed to presenting great music of all kinds. Your support, combined with the matching grant, will support more than the return of concerts to the park. Gifts to Ravinia ensure that our Reach Teach Play initiatives remain strong, so that we may provide music education throughout our Chicagoland communities.
Your contribution also helps the many artists who have struggled greatly during the pandemic and are just now having opportunities to perform in public again. The future of live music depends on your generosity. With the backing of The Negaunee Foundation, there has never been a more impactful time to support Ravinia.
Please consider making a gift today as a Pillar of Ravinia. We need your support now as much as we ever have throughout our history. Thank you for your consideration.
Will I Receive Benefits?
You will receive the typical benefits associated with the gift amount for the remainder of the 2021 season. Benefits are based on the original amount given, not the total matched amount. With a donation of $100–$199, you will receive early entry for two ticketed patrons to classical concerts (Sept. 7, 8, 9, 14, 17 & 21). A gift of $200–$299 extends that same early entry benefit to all concerts this month. With a donation of $300–$500, you will receive early entry for four ticketed patrons.
