Support the AGO on #Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

We ask that you consider making a gift to the American Guild of Organists. We will apply your gift to the area of the Guild that is most meaningful to you. For example, you can choose to support our Annual Fund, specific educational programs like Pipe Organ Encounters or the Certification program, our conventions, our chapters, or our Endowment.

A gift of any amount will be greatly appreciated. You can designate your tax-deductible gift in honor of a loved one, a colleague, a student, or a teacher. Make your gift online, or call us at 212-870-2310 during business hours from 9-5 Eastern time on any weekday.

In the weeks ahead, concert halls and houses of worship will be filled with the sound of the King of Instruments, more so than during any other time of the year. Through our collective efforts, we will be accomplishing the mission of the Guild to foster a thriving community of musicians who share their knowledge and inspire passion for the organ.

Your gift will make a positive impact by helping our members, by strengthening our chapters, and by supporting our national organization.
