Additional Piano Fundraising Activities
The Steinway Grand Club
A Donation Program for Churches and Schools
The Grand Club recognizes donors who generously provide funds for your piano project. This program is particularly effective when a significant number of instruments are needed.
Within and organization, there is generally a core group who can be counted on to raise money for a specific project. An ideal way to generate enthusiasm within your fundraising committee is to involve them in interesting activities to which they could not normally have access. We can arrange a trip to New York for your fundraising committee, featuring a tour of the Steinway & Sons factory. Your fundraisers will experience first-hand how these prized instruments are made. Armed with this information, they become great spokes-people for your campaign.
The Steinway Artist Fundraising Concert
A Ticket Selling Program Utilizing Steinway Artist
Over 98% of all pianists performing today with major orchestras choose the Steinway piano exclusively. No other piano can make that claim. When you are fundraising for your new piano, a concert by a Steinway Artist can draw attention to and create enthusiasm for your campaign as well as raise the money you need through ticket sales.
For best results the fundraising concert should take place at the venue in need on the new piano, on the piano that the organization is raising money for. Steinway Hall will assist in making arrangement with the Steinway artist chosen to perform through Steinway's Concert & Artist Department.
The Steinway Living Legacy Program
A Program to Help Identify Donors
The Steinway Living Legacy Program offers a unique opportunity for alumni of your school or members of your congregation to endow a legacy that will enhance the learning or worship experience of future generations. Because Steinway Designed pianos last longer than a lifetime, donors view them as enduring gifts that will inspire all who touch them or hear them for years to come.
People often bestow pianos to honor a loved one, parent or beloved faculty member, commemorate a special event such as a wedding anniversary or graduation, or support the music program at their alma mater or house of worship.
The Steinway In-Home Concert Series
A Contribution Program Showcasing Local Talent
In this program, supporters of your organization host exclusive, invitation-only fundraising performances in their homes. The Steinway In-Home Concert Series opens up some of the finest homes in your area, showcasing the homeowners' Art Case, Heirloom or other Steinway Pianos.
If a supporter is interested in hosting a concert but does not have a Steinway Designed Piano, Steinway Hall can arrange for a piano to be place in the home for the concert.
Steinway Kids for Keys
Fundraising Based on Student & Community Participation
Piano students and piano teachers in the community contribute practice hours in exchange for donations toward the acquisition of your new Steinway, Boston or Essex piano.
Steinway Hall DFW can make available a Steinway Designed piano for the Practice-A-Thon in which piano students agree to practice for a pledged amount. For example, for every $20 that is pledged a student will practice for 1/2 hour. The hours and donations are logged on a pledge card and at the end of the campaign the money is collected. Under this scenario, if 5 teachers each have 20 students, 100 students can participate. If each student gets 10 sponsors to pledge $20, you will have raised $20,000 toward the new Steinway Designed Piano.
