Donations and Sponsorship

Please also check out our special campaign to celebrate our 30th Anniversary:

Promoting classical and contemporary choral music

The Paris Choral Society (PCS) is a not-for-profit association dedicated to the presentation of classical and contemporary choral music in Paris.

Under the baton of Zachary Ullery, Canon for Music at the American Cathedral of Paris, PCS presents performances of the highest quality, blending choral masterpieces with lesser-known works that deserve to be performed more often. The PCS relies on different sources of income (membership fees, concert ticket sales) and, crucially, individual sponsorships and donations.

Your financial contributions will enable us to hire fine professional soloists and orchestras and continue to deliver great performances of the highest quality, of choral works from a wide-ranging repertoire.

Benefits of supporting the PCS Financially

Not only will donations help continue the work of the PCS but there are a collection of benefits to individuals and organisations who help finance our work. For taxpayers in France, sponsorship and donation is supported by the French Government with generous tax deductions for costs over and above any received benefit-in-kind. In essence, 2/3 of any gift to the PCS can be eligible for tax relief.

Not only will sponsorship and donations help continue the work of the PCS, but there are a collection of benefits to individuals and organisations who help finance our work.

Donations are simple gifts to the PCS for which no benefit-in-kind is received in return from the PCS. For taxpayers, such gifts are fully eligible for the 66% deduction afforded by the French tax system. Donors above 240€ (or €20 per month) will have their name in the program and an invitation to the PCS annual sponsor cocktail party. In essence, 2/3 of any gift to the PCS can be eligible for tax relief.

Sponsorship combines both ticket purchase (VIP seating) and an element of donation. There are two levels of sponsorship to choose from which come with a variety of additional benefits:

• Adagio (€250-€499): name in program, 6 tickets to use in the next 12 months’ concerts + invitation to the PCS annual sponsor cocktail party
• Allegro (€500 +): name in program, 9 tickets to use in the next 12 months’ concerts + invitation to the PCS annual sponsor cocktail party

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Elisabeth Poy.

Many thanks to everyone who is able to participate. You can find a list of current sponsors and donors here.
