Spurred by a $250,000 challenge from The Furumoto Research Foundation, Old Post Road has begun a two-year capital campaign in the Fall of 2011 to create an endowment for the organization. This fund will provide the financial foundation for Old Post Road to sustain and enhance its artistic and educational activities and to undertake compelling long-range musical projects.
The endowment will provide critical annual support for the organization’s operations. Through this Capital Campaign, the organization will be better positioned to focus its efforts on continued artistic development and contributions to cultural enrichment through increasing research that uncovers fascinating neglected repertoire, developing concert programs that highlight this repertoire, and preserving the repertoire through recordings and published editions.
The organization’s educational outreach work will also be enhanced through this fund. In addition to continuing the Kids Come Free program for Old Post Road’s subscription concerts, plans include the expansion of the Old Post Road website to offer cross-disciplinary curricular materials that make use of its research for social studies, mathematics, language skills, and music teachers, among others. A worldwide audience will be served through podcasts, audio recordings, videos, articles, and interactive content.
The Fund for the Future campaign aims to raise $750,000. To date $580,000 has been pledged or donated. All forms of gifts—cash, pledges (customized, multi-year, if desired), bequests, and stock/securities donations—are welcome and appreciated. To support this effort, click here.
