Support A Far Cry
You, the audience, make everything possible. Please consider a donation to A Far Cry to keep the music playing.
Keep the Music Playing
A gift to our general operating fund supports the day-to-day work that makes A Far Cry possible: paying our musicians and staff, producing performances, maintaining our operations, and keeping the organization running from one season to the next.
Your gift to our Annual Fund helps us keep making the bold, collaborative, joyful music you love—today, this season, and beyond.
Campaign For the Future
As A Far Cry celebrates its twentieth season, we are excited to launch our Campaign for the Future to build on two decades of transformative music-making and impact. With a goal of raising $850,000 by June 30, 2028, this campaign is an investment in what comes next: supporting the extraordinary artists who make A Far Cry possible, fueling the bold ideas that will shape the future of the field, and expanding our ability to connect with new audiences, partners, and communities.

Already have a DAF? You can recommend a grant to A Far Cry (EIN 30-0456355) directly from your DAF sponsor's portal - a simple way to support us using funds you've already set aside for charitable giving.
Leave a Legacy Gift
A gift through your will, trust, or beneficiary designation costs nothing today and can be updated anytime, but it helps ensure our next 20 seasons are as vibrant as the last. If you've already included us in your estate plans or plan to, please let us know by emailing ali@afarcry.org — we'd love the chance to thank you.

Looking for ways to deepen your impact?
Join A Far Cry’s Resonance Circle
A Far Cry’s Resonance Circle is a special community of patrons whose annual contributions of $1,500 and above provide vital support to A Far Cry. Through this program, members enjoy unique experiences and exclusive access that deepen their connection to our musicians and our mission of bringing people together through collaborative music-making.
Match your gift
Many companies will double, or even triple, charitable contributions made by employees. Check with your company’s HR department (or search here) to see if they have a matching gift program, and double your impact today!
Become a Recurring Donor
Set up a recurring gift and spread your support across the season instead of giving all at once. Monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual giving provides us with reliable, predictable funding to plan ahead — and you can update or cancel your recurring gift at any time. Even a modest monthly amount adds up to meaningful support over our 20th season and beyond.
Volunteer
A Far Cry has a generous community of volunteers, from those who help out at the Will Call table before concerts, to our incredible hosts who house our guest musicians in Greater Boston and across the country while we’re on tour. If you would like to learn more about volunteer opportunities at A Far Cry, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@afarcry.org!
