In addition to direct financial support, there are numerous ways in which individuals and organizations can contribute to the festival.

• IN-KIND DONATIONS: Contributions of goods and services that match Music@Menlo’s needs are greatly appreciated. While significantly reducing our operating costs, such donations also offer promotional opportunities for your business. The festival will have major expenses in the areas of hospitality, travel, and office equipment and supplies. Please contact Annie Rohan at either 650-330-2133 or annie@musicatmenlo.org if you are with an organization that could become a Music@Menlo business partner.

• VOLUNTEER: A strong team of friendly, enthusiastic, and hardworking volunteers always is needed to help the festival run smoothly. Music@Menlo volunteers (“Friends of the Festival”) contribute their time in a variety of ways, including ushering at concerts, providing general festival hospitality at the Welcome Center, and helping with large mailings throughout the year. If you are interested in contributing your time and energy to help Music@Menlo, please give us a call at 650-330-2030, or email us at info@musicatmenlo.org. We’ll be delighted to hear from you!

• HOST AN ARTIST: Each season, approximately forty musicians will visit Music@Menlo, each staying anywhere from three days to two weeks. The festival is committed to housing musicians in private homes. This is a wonderful way for world-class artists to connect directly with the local community. If you can offer semiprivate quarters in your home with a private bath to a musician, you not only will be helping the festival but also will be forming a new friendship.

Gifts to Music@Menlo are tax deductible. Music@Menlo is a self-supporting program of Menlo School, a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization.
