The Patron Society is a cornerstone of the Music Institute of Chicago. This is a cherished group of individuals and family foundations who each year support the Annual Fund of the Music Institute of Chicago with a leadership level gift. More than half of all contributions to the Annual Fund are from the Society. Each gift is spent the year in which it is received. With these critical dollars, impacting our entire organization and spanning community outreach, the Music Institute can confidently pursue its mission to touch lives through the power of music.
