Ways to Give
Supporters of the Community Music Conservatory create a solid foundation for several programs that will become an established part of the musical community of Ocala. By investing in the availability and quality of music education, as well as the fundamentals of music and music appreciation, we can and will inspire more Ocala residents to take part in the arts, and provide more opportunities for marginalized and/or underserved groups to participate in the arts.

Join the Education Consortium – $10,000
A central tenant of our expansion is the new Community Music Conservatory, a gift of the David and Lisa Midgett Foundation. The Conservatory’s mission is to provide accessible music education for all with excellent and innovative programming. Launch offerings include Buckets and Boom Sticks, a percussion-oriented class to create a love for music and performance in children, Class Guitar for youth and adults, and fundamental music classes like Music Appreciation and basic Music Theory for all ages.
With the Foundation’s initial gift of $300,000 to establish this incredible musical asset for Ocala, we are seeking 25 gifts of $10,000 and above to further support the brick and mortar, and enshrine programming for the first five years.
Donors joining this special consortium will be recognized in a unique and prominent place in the Reilly Arts Center’s new lobby.
Sponsorship is 100% tax deductible and includes sponsor recognition at the level of giving.
