Production Sponsor:
Receive exclusive invitations to performances and sneak peeks into the
creative concepts of each season, while financing inspiring opera that will keep you on the
edge of your seat. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $10,000. We are happy to customize a
benefits package to meet your philanthropic and marketing goals.
Matching Gifts:
Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to
contribute to charitable organizations. Please ask your HR department for a matching gift
form and send the completed form to COT.
Gifts of Securities:
Making a gift of appreciated securities to COT lends vital support to the
company, while your gift escapes capital gains tax.
Honor/Tribute Gifts
: Remember and celebrate a friend or loved one with a COT gift
instead of a more traditional gift. To honor your dear ones, visit us online at

family of the honoree that a donation has been made in his/her name.
Planned Giving, The Encore Society:
A legacy gift ensures that COT will offer to future
generations more inspiring opera that will always keep audiences on the edge of their seat;
will produce affordable opera as Chicago has never imagined; will create opportunities for
young opera artists; and will educate children to become opera lovers. If you have arranged a
planned gift for COT, kindly let us know as we would like to recognize your generosity.
