Donating and sponsoring

Promoting classical and contemporary choral music

Supporting the Paris Choral Society

The Paris Choral Society (PCS) is a not-for-profit association dedicated to the presentation of classical and contemporary choral music in Paris.

Based at the American Cathedral of Paris, PCS presents performances of the highest quality, blending choral masterpieces with lesser-known works that deserve to be performed more often. 

The PCS relies on different sources of income (membership fees, concert ticket sales) and, crucially, individual sponsorships and donations.

Your financial contributions will enable us to hire fine professional soloists and orchestras and continue to deliver great performances of the highest quality, of choral works from a wide-ranging repertoire.

Benefits of supporting the PCS financially

Not only will donations help continue the work of the PCS but there are a collection of benefits to individuals and organisations who help finance our work. 

For taxpayers in France, sponsorship and donation is supported by the French Government with generous tax deductions for costs over and above any received benefit-in-kind. In essence, 2/3 of any gift to the PCS can be eligible for tax relief. You will find further details of how this works below.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Elisabeth Poy.

Donations

Donations are simple gifts to the PCS for which no benefit-in-kind is received in return from the PCS. For taxpayers, such gifts are fully eligible for the 66% deduction afforded by the French tax system. 

Donors above 240€ (or €20 per month) will have their name in the programme and an invitation to the PCS annual sponsor cocktail party. In essence, 2/3 of any gift to the PCS can be eligible for tax relief.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship combines both ticket purchase (VIP seating) and an element of donation. There are two levels of sponsorship to choose from which come with a variety of additional benefits:
