Support Toronto Consort
There are many meaningful ways to support our work—through donations, legacy gifts, employer matching, and more. Your generosity sustains our concerts, education, and community programs.
How Individuals and Families Support Us
You, the individual, the long-time Consort supporter, the friend of an artist, the newcomer, and the life-long concert goer are the heart of The Toronto Consort. By giving what you can, whether that be a monetary gift, the gift of your time, or an instrument for our instrument bank, you help us get even closer to actualizing our dream of deepening our civic impact through the power of early music.
For more than 50 years we have delighted audiences far and wide with this unique and meaningful repertoire. When we brought it out of academic pursuit and onto the stage, you were there to support us. We have been so fortunate to have shared this music with you and, in turn, work with so many of you to ensure the sustainability of our great organization.
There are so many ways to give, please explore the array of support areas.
Annual Giving Program
For over fifty years, The Toronto Consort has been the trusted companion of early music lovers across Canada changing the lives of those that have attended our concert series, admired our work online and have collected our many recordings. With modest public funding, we find our public at the heart of our architecture with the true cost of a public performance supported by individuals, partners and foundations.
If you want to support The Toronto Consort’s inspired artistic programming, key education work and touring projects, we invite you to join our family of supporters. The Toronto Consort represents a diverse community of musicians and listeners. This is your moment to share in visionary leadership that will secure our future together.
You can also learn more about support options adapted to meet the goals of individual music lovers, philanthropists, foundations, and special fundraising campaigns on this page.
