A Menu of Sponsorships

GCMC is a dedicated group of gentlemen committed to providing quality entertainment to the Phoenix community as a voice of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered movement. While all of us remain dedicated to this effort, it takes funding and resources to continue these activities and support our future growth. We are confident in our abilities to grow GCMC to a performance organization consistent with the 5th largest city in the United States. We appreciate your gift help to make this dream a reality.

As we are seeking new partnerships with individuals, foundations and companies, we invite you to review the following opportunities to join us in the further building of GCMC. Your targeted gift can be for the entirety of any of these projects, or any portion thereof. They provide the same benefit levels as the Friends of the Chorale. Contact us at 602-717-4262 to share your vision for our future!

CD Production
In April of 2004, GCMC presented “Class Reunion”, a fun and memorable medley of music from the 50’s through the 70’s. Replete with costumes, dance and music, it truly was a lot of fun for both us and our audiences. GCMC would like to relive these memories, and share them with our audiences through the production of a commercial CD. GCMC needs assistance with royalties, equipment rental, sound engineering, duplication and packaging. A detailed budget is available for your review upon request

Office Space/Equipment
As development of the organization grows, so to does our need for dedicated office space and equipment. Such resources will maximize our external communications, provide a central administrative space for the storage of our music library and equipment, and facilitate meeting space for the exchange of ideas amongst the organization that has been the cornerstone of our development to date.

Matching Membership Dues Support
Each of the chorale and Board members provides financial support to the organization of $20 per month for a period of 9 months. This equates to approximately $12,000 per year. Through sponsorship and community advocacy, we would like to create a more stable funding stream that relieves our members from carrying this financial commitment.
Goal: $12000

Executive Director hiring
On par with peer GALA Choruses, GCMC would like to hire a full time Executive Director to lead the development of the organization in the future. While the efforts of our all volunteer organization are needed and appreciated by us all, having an Executive Director will allow us to build more proactively and efficiently. Having an ED, we look towards greater partnership and grant funding development, while enhancing organizational visibility in the community.
Goal: $40,000
