Major Giving at A Far Cry
A Far Cry’s 20th Season is just around the corner! It is because of you, our community of supporters, that we have officially outgrown our “startup” label as an organization and are in a meaningful phase of development while we head into our third decade.
To that end, we’re excited to announce A Far Cry's Major Giving Program, a patron program designed for donors contributing $1,500 and up annually to AFC. The goals of the program are to:
Build community through events and touch points throughout the season
Give back to you, our supporters, through a benefits program that brings you even closer to the Criers
Bolster major giving to establish A Far Cry as a mainstay in Boston into the next decade and beyond
We are also delighted to share that Eloise Hodges, one of A Far Cry’s founding Board members, has made an incredible leadership gift of $100,000 as a challenge for us to meet this moment and inspire new and increased giving. Together, we will catapult A Far Cry into its next phase, and we are so excited to mark this moment together.
Details of the Major Giving Program benefit levels can be found directly below. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Ali Fessler at ali@afarcry.org to set up an individual conversation! We would love to answer any questions and/or discuss your giving goals.
