Our team of MusicMakers is instrumental in making sure our music continues to be heard long into the future. This sustaining membership program offers the opportunity to make an automated monthly pledge from your credit card or bank account.

One of the easiest and most important ways to support the Lakes Area Music Festival is by remembering our organization with a planned or deferred gift. By joining our Legacy Society you will help ensure our mission for years to come, while taking advantage of important tax benefits.

An IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals over age 70½ to directly transfer up to $100,000 per year from an IRA account to a non-profit like the Lakes Area Music Festival. This transfer counts toward the minimum required distribution rule for IRA accounts and is free of both income and estate taxes.

Establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to support our mission while honoring a loved one or celebrating a special occasion. Your gift will recognize someone important in your life, while making a difference in the lives of those we serve.

If you would like to discuss establishing a memorial or tribute gift, please contact Executive and Artistic Director Scott Lykins at scott@lakesareamusic.org or 218-ASK-LAMF (218-275-5263).

The Lakes Area Music Festival relies on the generosity of individual donors and is committed to respecting the privacy of its donors whether gifts are given online, by mail, or in person at concerts. When you make a contribution using any method, you provide our organization with important information including your name, contact information, credit card information, volunteer preferences, and other information in certain circumstances.  

Our organization uses a secure, limited-access database to store personal and financial records. When you make a contribution in person or by mail, our finance assistant inputs your information into this protected database.  Credit cards are processed when requested, and physical records are destroyed. This database is only accessible by members of our staff and finance committee.  Limited volunteer contact information may be shared, as necessary, with the chairs of applicable committees. When permitted by signing up or by request otherwise, your email address will also be stored in our account with Constant Contact, the platform we use for ongoing email communication.

Gifts made by credit card, whether by mail or through our website, are processed by systems using the highest available standard safeguards for credit card information security and privacy to protect your information.

We will not sell, share, or trade our donors’ personal or financial information with any other organization or entity. We will only send advertising or solicitation information on behalf of other organizations in rare circumstances when this information is directly related to our organization or our mission.
