The Maritime Music & Tradition Society Corp. is proud to announce that we are now officially a 501c3 status nonprofit! We are so grateful to the Country Dance & Song Society for bringing us on board as an affiliate organization. This means that we are finally able to accept donations to support the new Connecticut Sea Music Festival. Your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. As we mentioned in earlier announcements, it also means that we are able to apply for grants designated for nonprofits.
Plans for the first Connecticut Sea Music Festival (as a reminder – June 10th-13th, 2022) are moving ahead swiftly. We’re partnering with the Town of Essex, as well as individual venues such as the Griswold Inn and the Connecticut River Museum. Thank you for your patience as we’ve worked through the unglamorous details, and we hope you’ll help to support the CT SMF. For those giving at higher tiers, we make sure to recognize our donors as Friends of the Festival. If you are interested, please contact Geoff Kaufman at FoF@maritimemusicandtraditionsociety.org.
Donations of any size can be given by checks made out to “MM&TS.” They should be mailed to:
Maritime Music & Tradition Society
P.O. Box 611, Essex CT 06426.
We hope to hear from you soon!
