Support Us

The Lafayette Master Chorale is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Our organization is privately financed through ticket sales and the generosity of area residents.  Your support and/or tax deductible donations make all of our performances possible, and allow us to provide musical education and outreach activities in the Greater Lafayette Area.  For all donations, we provide receipts for tax purposes.
