Campaign for UMS
UMS is dedicated to serving diverse audiences in three distinct but interrelated areas: presentation, education and creation. For the first time, we have embarked on a comprehensive campaign to raise funds for the three areas of our mission as well as annual operating support. We seek gifts to support the operating budget, to continue and expand our current programs, to endow the future of UMS programs, and to make it possible for us to make multi-year programming commitments.
The Campaign for the University Musical Society is part of The Michigan Difference campaign. Any gift you give to UMS counts toward the University's campaign goal and, when making a gift to the University, you may designate it to UMS.
Campaign Goals
| Total Campaign Goal | $25,000,000 |
| Comprised of the following: | |
| Cash and Pledge Goal | $20,000,000 |
| Bequest Goal | $5,000,000 |
Our goal is that $10,000,000 of the total gifts received will be designated to endowment, thus ensuring the future of UMS and buffering the organization against the sometimes unpredictable nature of the economy and government funding sources.
How to Make a Gift
You may make an annual gift, a multi-year pledge, or a planned gift to the Campaign for the University Musical Society, which is part of The Michigan Difference campaign. Your gift may be made to annual operating support or to establish an endowment and may be designated to an area of your interest. You will be recognized and will receive the benefits of the giving societies for the University Musical Society, as well as those of the University of Michigan.
