Support Team
You can help us accomplish our goals and continue to make beautiful music! Like any musical instrument, handbells require maintenance, time, energy, and hard work. Your monthly or one-time gift can help us purchase and maintain our equipment, compensate our ringers, and acquire the services we need to create music and recordings for you to enjoy.
(Please note that gifts to Forté are not currently tax deductible!)
Support us with a Monthly Gift
While we welcome and appreciate both monthly and one-time gifts, your decision to give monthly allows us to better manage our resources and plan our budget. Therefore, in addition to the simple satisfaction of helping us accomplish our mission, we have some special benefits to offer you in gratitude for monthly contributions beginning at $10 per month.
Click the buttons below to set up automatic monthly payments at the level of your choosing.
Our Bronze tier is a good option for those who want to support us monthly but would rather not commit $10/month or more. The only perks we can afford to give at this level are being included on our supporter-specific emails and having your name listed in our programs as a Bronze supporter (plus our gratitude for giving monthly towards our goals).
At this level, you are also able to purchase Black or Bronze Support T-Shirts.
Silver Supporters get the following perks as a thank you for your ongoing support:
1 free Forté Support Team T-Shirt (in Black, Bronze, or Silver)
1 free in-stock media item (CD or DVD) of your choice

Support Us with a One-Time Gift
We understand that monthly giving is not the best option for everybody. If you would like to support us with a one-time gift, please click the button below. Alternatively, for a one-time gift, you can send a check made out to “Forte Handbell Quartet” to our mailbox or bring your gift to one of our concerts where an offering is accepted.
If you’d like to give directly to our equipment fund, please visit our Equipment Page to read about our current equipment and goals, and to find a link for giving specifically toward those goals!
Please note that Forté is not currently a nonprofit organization; gifts are not tax-deductible at this time.
The benefits/perks we offer supporters are gifts of gratitude for your monthly giving, and they are subject to change. Your giving is not a purchase of or subscription to any products or services, but rather your monthly giving is your own repeated freewill contribution to our mission.
Forté Giveaways are free for anyone to enter, and anyone can have up to four entries per giveaway. Contact us for alternative methods of entering.
