FY 2012 Goal: $3.48 million
A good stage manager gets the job done while remaining largely behind the scenes. From organizing the timing of a concert, to ensuring that the stage is set and the musicians are in place and ready to perform, the stage manager is responsible for the logistics of each and every concert. The audience rarely sees the stage manager, but it witnesses his or her work each time a performance takes place.
New England Conservatory's Annual Fund is much like the stage manager.
Every aspect of life at New England Conservatory is supported by the Annual Fund. The revenue needed to run a complex organization like the Conservatory comes from the unrestricted annual contributions of more than 3,000 donors: individuals, corporations and foundations that support the Conservatory's mission of instilling the highest standards of excellence in our students, nurturing individual artistic sensibility and creative growth, and providing a musical education that is accessible, affordable, and second to none.
Contributions to NEC's Annual Fund support scholarships, faculty recruitment, free concerts and masterclasses, performance outreach, library resources, travel to competitions, technology, security, maintenance, and everything else that makes NEC an outstanding musical institution.
Now more than ever, NEC needs your support. During the 2011-2012 academic year, NEC's Annual Fund must raise $3.48 million. Every gift, of any amount, to the Annual Fund plays a significant role in helping us to achieve this ambitious goal and ensure that NEC is able to meet the musical, educational, and financial needs of our students. Join the many stage managers who support NEC's Annual Fund: your Annual Fund contribution today has a positive impact on the musicians of tomorrow!
