We need your help!
*SPECIAL APPEAL:
FLORENCE SAVINGS BANK CUSTOMERS
Customer Ballots are here again, and this year we need your participation more than ever. Every year, Florence Savings Bank donates $50,000 to local non-profits in the form of individually-tailored grants.
In order to qualify for one of these grants, NCMC needs YOU to vote for us! You may cast one vote for each bank account you hold with FSB.
Either fill out a paper ballot here at the Center, or download & print the form at home, and bring it with you to your next lesson!
(Click here to download the ballot).
FSB has recently expanded and opened several new branches around the Valley; this increases competition for their grants exponentially. As a non-profit arts organization NCMC is at quite a disadvantage in the current economic climate, in which state and federal funding for the arts has dropped precipitously. In order to thrive, we need your help--and this is one of the easiest ways you can positively impact the Center!
It takes 3 minutes or less...but the results could last all year! THANK YOU!
Approximately 15% of NCMC's student body requires financial aid to study music. In 2007, NCMC distributed more than $30,000 in financial aid, and that number is expected to rise. Your donations help make these scholarships possible.
NCMC's programming runs on a break-even basis. NCMC is a not-for-profit organization and tuition fees cover only about 80% of NCMC's costs. NCMC depends on community support to stay in operation.
Please help keep music alive in our community. Support NCMC by giving today!
To learn more about the many ways to support NCMC, please contact NCMC's Development Coordinator Katherine Davis at (413) 585-0001. To send a donation today, please download this form and send it to:

As a not-for-profit organization, NCMC relies on the help of volunteers to meet its goals. If you have skills or experience that you feel could be of service, please contact us.
NCMC is always looking for volunteers to help assemble mailings and distribute literature to the greater Northampton community. We have big dreams, but our staff is extremely small, so any help that you can give would be much appreciated, even if it's just an hour of stuffing envelopes. For more information, contact Lita Robinson, Publicity Assistant, at (413)585-0001 or via e-mail at lita@ncmc.net.
