East Bay Community Music Project

Hello friends and fellow music-makers,

I’m writing on behalf of East Bay Community Music Project, an important non-profit arts organization dedicated to helping people connect, express and grow through community music making. This past year has seen many milestones. Here are just a few:

• Continuation of twice-monthly gatherings and quarterly festivals.
• Expansion of a unique repertoire with the inclusion of customized music making activities designed to acknowledge and celebrate significant life events of community members.
• Establishment of a school sing-along program being piloted with scheduled events at two Berkeley Unified School District elementary schools.

Additionally, this past year EBCMP obtained designation as an official 501c3 organization. By formalizing our enterprise in this way we are poised to expand programing by forging partnerships with other arts organizations and civic entities, pursuing fundraising through foundation grants and accepting tax deductible donations from individuals like you…. which brings me to the reason for this letter.

I hope you will consider making a donation to East Bay Community Music Project as you consider your end of year giving. Your gift will help us to expand our instrument library, develop new programing, including an artist-in-residence initiative, as well as support the ongoing expenses associated with core programing.

The goal for this, our first fundraising campaign, is $5000. I am thrilled to announce that an anonymous donor has agreed to match gifts that are made prior to December 31st up to $1500; further our board has agreed to match up to an additional $1000, which means we need to raise $2500 from our community. Please help us take advantage of these matching opportunities. If just 50 of us dedicate $50 we will achieve our goal! All donations are tax-deductible.

We will gratefully accept your donations through PayPal (click Donate below):

You can also send a check or money order to:

Thank you for your consideration and here’s wishing you a harmonious, happy and healthy holiday season!

Yours truly,

Laura Hazlett
