Please help support chamber music in Iowa with your generous gift to Ames Town & Gown.

Sales of tickets cover only a portion of the expenses of our series. Our concerts are therefore possible because of the loyalty of our audiences and the financial assistance of our friends. We urge you to contribute to Ames Town & Gown to assure the continued presence of chamber music in our community.

Gifts to Ames Town & Gown may be made by individuals, families, and businesses, and may be in memory or in honor of a person, organization, or event. Contributors of $2,000 or more may sponsor a concert. Contributors who donate $1,000 may support a specific outreach event. Donors, concert sponsors, and outreach supporters will be acknowledged in the concert program.

Gifts are accepted online or by mail: PO Box 1134, Ames, IA 50014.

Ames Town & Gown is a 501(c)(3) organization. Gifts may be tax-deductible.

For further information, please contact Artistic Director Paula Forrest at town.gown@gmail.com
