Support Outpost

Outpost Productions is a member-supported organization, also funded by grants (government & foundation), by donations, by corporate sponsorships, by advertising, as well as by ticket sales. IT’S A TEAM EFFORT! If you, as an individual or business, are interested in supporting the programs of the Outpost Performance Space, and/or associating your company’s image with our organization, you can do so in any number of ways. You may now donate on line (Paypal) or by contacting us by phone or mail.

Membership

As of the end of 2010, Outpost has more than 650 Individual Members who pay anywhere from $25 to $575 and, in return, receive benefits ranging from a $5 discount at every Outpost show to a Pass for 2 to every show at The Space for a year. Each Spring we offer an added Membership benefit. Buy a membership of $45 or higher and receive 10 free raffle tickets for a chance to win a trip for two to a great Jazz Festival (past years have been to Monterey, San Jose, New Orleans, etc.).

Tax Deductible Donations

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Outpost can accept tax-deductible donations. You can make a donation at any time of the year either on line or via phone or mail (go to Online Support Form link, below).  You may make donations to a GENERAL FUND which helps to support all of our activities and operating expenses. Or, if you so desire, you may make a donation specifically to our EDUCATIONAL FUND which supports all of our terrific educational programs (Weekend Workshops, Variety Shows, Afterschool Programs and Classes, School Field Trips to performances at The Space, and so on). Another place to make a donation is to our INSTRUMENT PURCHASE FUND which has allowed us to purchase everything from a Steinway Grand Piano to bass amps and conga drums for use by our youth classes as well as for our world famous visiting artists and points in between.

We now have a Paypal account to take secure donations online, you can go to our membership & support form, just press the button and follow the instructions. Please click on “add special instructions to the seller” and indicate in the box how much of your contribution should go towards membership and/or how much for general donation.

KEEP IT HAPPENING: THE NEXT 20 YEARS

MUSIC ART EDUCATION

Annual Campaign

Outpost must raise a sizeable sum every year in order support our diverse and unique programs (Music, Art & Education). Our goal for this year is $200,000. There are many ways you can support us.

End of Year Gift: Season Pleadings

Each year, Outpost requests year-end gifts from the community. This effort has become very successful over the years.

Online Support Form

If you’d like to become an Outpost Member or help support us with a tax deductible gift , you can go to our online support form, print it, fill it out and send it in or, if you prefer, donate online. You can also become a subscriber to our newsletter, mailed for Fall, Spring, and Summer seasons.

BUSINESS SUPPORT

Sponsorship

Outpost Productions has a flexible Sponsorship program which ranges from a cost of $500-$10,000 yearly. Sponsorship benefits include passes, ads, logo placement, banners and so on. At this time, we are particularly interested in recruiting sponsors for the New Mexico Jazz Festival (a two-city major Jazz festival presented each July and produced in partnership with the Lensic Performing Arts Center and the Santa Fe Jazz Foundation). We’re also looking for Individual Concert Sponsors (we’d like to see a sponsor’s logo next to every concert— it’s affordable, it’s good exposure for your business, and for us, it can make a huge difference!). You could also choose to sponsor an entire concert series such as the Summer Thursday Jazz Nights; or sponsor our Inpost Artspace visual arts gallery. Call us and we will find a program to suit your needs.

Advertising

Outpost Productions has two highly visible and respected advertising vehicles. The first is the “Outpost Newsletter”— which is published and distributed to more than 7,500 people three times a year. The second is the “Outpost Concert Program” which is handed out to audiences at over 120 outstanding Outpost events per year. Advertising rates start at only $125.
