Support Great Music in Maryland
As a CMM donor, you have the pleasure of hearing live, world-class chamber music close to home, while also receiving public recognition in our performance programs and on our website. At specific levels of giving, you will enjoy vouchers for free refreshments, complimentary guest tickets, and special opportunities to engage with the arts and fellow donors. Ticket sales cover only one-third of our presenting costs. Please consider adding a tax-deductible donation to your order to ensure the continuation of our superlative performances, plus our outreach and educational activities that enrich and inspire thousands of community members annually.

Maximize Your Tax Benefits
There are several ways to maximize tax benefits through your philanthropic giving. We encourage you to consult with your accountant or financial advisor for guidance based on your personal situation.
Donate Appreciated Stock
Gifting long-term appreciated securities held long-term can be an exceptionally effective way to support the arts:
You may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets
You may be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full fair market value
Chamber Music Maryland receives 100% of your contribution to invest directly into performances and programs
Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you are age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA can be a powerful giving strategy:
A QCD may satisfy part or all of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
For 2025, the annual QCD limit is $108,000
QCDs are excluded from taxable income, making them one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give
Your gift immediately strengthens our ability to bring exceptional chamber music to the community
