Double your money with the Big Give Christmas Challenge
Christmas is the time for giving and that is certainly true for the NCO as we gear up for one of our most important fundraising appeals of the year.
The NCO has teamed up with the Big Give and the Cecil King Memorial Foundation to raise vital funds for our work next year. This is an exciting opportunity for us to double any gifts donated to our project, Future Maestros. We will receive £1 match funding for every pound we raise online between 5-9 December. Can you help us reach our target of £50,000 in order to unlock a further £50,000 in match funding?
Alec Reed launched the Big Give in October 2007 to help proactive philanthropists donate intelligently. The scheme works by matching funds which charities raise, effectively doubling donors' contributions. So for every £1 you donate online, the NCO receives £2.
Last year our supporters raised over £80,000 to enable us to offer children the life-changing NCO experience. We are delighted to have been selected again this year and we're aiming even higher, hoping to raise £100,000 of much-needed funds to support our work.
The Big Give appeal is a great way to make your contribution go further. Please consider making a pledge today to our Development and Marketing Manager, Katherine Mann. We will then be in touch nearer the date to remind you to make your gift online between 5-9 December.
Every penny will be put to the very best possible use to support our 500+ talented young musicians in 2012.
