Join the CMC Community
California Music Center depends upon the generosity of individuals and foundations to produce the Klein Competition and its other programs. CMC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID 51-0138643), and gifts are tax-deductible in accordance with the law.
The community of CMC donors includes classical music enthusiasts, parents of Klein prizewinners, educators, adult amateur string players, and others who support the work that we do to nurture the careers of young musicians. We also maintain – and welcome additions to – a dedicated core of families and individuals that act as hosts for the Klein Semifinalists each June.
For those loyal supporters who want to make a legacy gift to CMC, please consider becoming a member of the Elaine Klein Society.
