Membership in The Philadelphia Chapter of The American Guild of Organists

The American Guild of Organists Philadelphia Chapter’s lively concern for education and outreach previously prompted the formation of an Endowment Fund. The purpose of this fund is to expand programs for leadership development among AGO members, educate new organists, and cultivate new audiences for organ and choral music. This fund is prudently administered by the Chapter’s Endowment Committee. Tax-deductible contributions to the Endowment Fund are invested in perpetuity to produce continuing income support for the Chapter’s educational programs and projects. Contributions may be accepted in the form of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets. You are also encouraged to consider including the AGO Philadelphia Chapter in your will and bequests. Prior consultation with your financial advisor and/or legal counsel is advised. For providing your gifts or seeking further information, please contact the Chair of the Endowment Committee by e-mail at Dennis.Elwell@agophila.org.
