Now in its 22nd year, LACC is reaching new heights of artistic excellence and organizational growth! Such growth requires considerable resources. Each year LACC conducts a fundraising campaign to “fill the gap” between total annual expenses and the revenue realized from tuition, ticket sales, performance fees, and other sources of earned income.
During its 2007|2008 Season, LACC must raise 47% of its 1.3 million budget — that’s $627,000 to be realized from individuals, foundations, corporations and government agencies in support of LACC’s important programs and services.
LACC raises this critical revenue in a number of ways from a number of different sources. Our annual efforts include:
- Grants (from Foundations) and Sponsorships (from Corporations) to underwrite LACC’s overall program and/or special projects.
- Personal Donations from private individuals, including members of the Parent Guild and other friends in the community who appreciate the value LACC brings to the lives of talented and deserving young singers.
- LACC’s annual Benefit/Gala Fundraiser — a special evening of cocktails, dinner and entertainment, the proceeds of which benefit LACC’s ongoing program of choral music education. This year’s Benefit — the second, bi-annual Gala Bel Canto — will take place on May 22, 2008. For more information or to purchase a table or tickets, please click here Gala Bel Canto—Save the Date.
- Many employers sponsor Matching Gift Programs and will match the charitable contributions of their employees. In fact, did you know that some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or their spouses? Check with your employer today to see if it offers a matching gifts program, and if so, take advantage of it! Click here to see a short list of companies that offer matching programs. If you do not see your employer on the list, please check with your employer directly — and if your family and friends support LACC, ask them to do the same! You may also check on an employer’s matching gift program status at: http:/?www.matchinggifts.com/usc/. You can DOUBLE THE VALUE OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION by applying for a matching gift. It’s easy… it’s free… and it enables your employer to contribute in a meaningful way to your favorite charities!

- The annual Poinsettia Campaign, raises significant funds through the sale of holiday flowers to family, friends, and the community. Since the first “Poinsettia Campaign” in 1995, this eagerly anticipated event, which takes place every October-November, has become a much-loved tradition at LACC because it give everyone — from board and staff members to choristers and their families — an opportunity to help raise funds while raising holiday spirit! It also presents the community with a festive, seasonal opportunity to support LACC. Check back in Fall 2008 for more information about the 2008 Poinsettia Campaign.
