Support
The Michigan Drum Corps Scholarship Fund is a community-focused, donor-driven organization. That means we cannot do what we do without your support, and individual contributions constitute the the vast majority of our scholarship budget. Thank you for doing your part to make drum corps more accessible in our community!
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit, so all direct donations are tax deductible. We also follow the 100% model, which means all of our administrative expenses are covered by the Board of Directors and a private donor. 100% of your donation goes towards providing scholarships for Michigan drum corps students.
Paypal
Our primary method of accepting donations is through Paypal. We are currently accepting donations for two programs:
- General donations, which support our general scholarship program. You can make a general donation by clicking here, or use the button below.
- Donations for the Jason Fritz Memorial Endowment, which supports a scholarship in his name and memory. To donate to the endowment, click here or use the button below.
ShopRaise
One of the best ways to support us is through ShopRaise! ShopRaise allows users to raise funds for their favorite charitable causes while doing online shopping. Whether it’s shopping for daily essentials like groceries, buying furniture for your home office, or even booking your next trip, the ShopRaise app lets you turn your everyday shopping into support for the Michigan Drum Corps Scholarship Fund, all at no additional cost to you.
Other methods
If you happen to run into us in-person at a DCI show or any other pageantry arts event, we will happily accept a cash or check donation!
We can also accept donation of other types (except cryptocurrency), and you may restrict your donation to specific purposes within our mission. Please get in touch if you have something in mind!
Thank you for doing your part to make drum corps more accessible in our community!
