Contributions from businesses and individuals like you make all the difference. Here’s why:

Tickets and tuition only cover half our costs. The FIM would have to charge more than $100 for a ticket to the Flint Symphony, or more than $45 for a private lesson at the Flint School of Performing Arts. That would make these great experiences inaccessible for many of the thousands of people we serve.

In order to make up the difference, we hold several fundraising events, and receive funds from grants and endowments. But we still must rely on memberships, that is, contributions from businesses and individuals like you, to make up the rest.
