How to Support PAS

Maintaining musical excellence and community outreach support is expensive. Ticket sales provide only 30% of the cost of concerts. We depend upon private tax-deductible donations, grants, and advertising to cover the remaining program costs.

Donor Categories

• PAS Associate   $300 and above -Includes invitations to special PAS events.

• Benefactor         $100-$299

• Friend                $25-99

Your name will be listed in the nine monthly program inserts and on this web-site. Your contributions benefit the musicians, the artists, and the schoolchildren served by our outreach program.

Matching gifts programs

Many companies will match the employee’s gifts to PAS. Please check with your personnel office to see if your gift qualifies for a corporate match.

Concert Sponsorship $1,500 and up

All sponsorship proceeds go directly to musicians’ fees.  A generous sponsorship may enable us to offer a special concert.

Sponsors receive the following:

• Special recognition, including your name displayed prominently in the lobby at the sponsored concert.

• Acknowledgment of your support printed in all nine concert inserts, on our website, and, if your pledge is received by June 30, in the annual program book.

• For corporate sponsors, a link to your corporate website.

• Preferred seating at the sponsored concert for you and your guests.

• Invitations to special PAS receptions

The Helios Legacy Society

Established by the Board of Directors of the Placitas Artists Series in 2006, the twentieth anniversary season, and inspired by the founding quartet of the series, the Helios Legacy Society honors farsighted and generous individuals who have included PAS in their wills, estate, or insurance plans. The Society is another way to ensure the continuation of this fine series for twenty years and longer.

To establish your participation, all that is needed is a written statement of your intent on file with PAS. Donors who wish to be listed should so indicate; others will be listed as “Anonymous.” We count on your support and thank you for considering this new avenue of giving.
