Support

Piccola Accademia’s facilities, collection, master classes and performances cost more to develop and present than we can recover through fees and ticket sales, requiring us to find an additional € 250,000 annually. An initial “spring board” of private financial support has enabled us to launch Piccola Accademia, but the ongoing development of our collection, the support of our students and the extension of our teaching and recording programmes critically depends on finding a group of people who understand and appreciate our vision and work and who are willing to help us to continue our progress and maintain a solid operational footing. We operate as a non-profit organisation and in Italy are a registered ONLUS foundation, which allows us to tax efficiently receive sponsorship and support for our work, but we need help to make it all work.

We invite our friends to be become members of the Accademia Society, a circle of supporters who will help to secure our future through annual giving.

The Accademia Society will have four levels of participation:

• Ruckers - € 50,000 / £ 33,000 / $ 66,000
• Blanchet - € 25,000 / £ 17,000 / $ 33,000
• Kirkman - € 5,000 / £ 3,500 / $ 6,600
• Theewes - € 1,500 / £ 1,000 / $ 2,000

Gifts can be made in Euros, UK Sterling or US Dollars. Piccola Accademia di Montisi is a fully registered charity in Italy through Fondazione Montisi Harpsichord Performance Center ONLUS and in the UK through The British Friends of Piccola Accademia (Reg. No.1118036). In the U.S. we have a 501(c)3 status.
