Support Chicago Bronze
We are an Illinois non-profit and 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Please consult your tax advisor as to how it applies to your tax situation.
We count on your support!
The generosity of our donors kept us going strong through two years that were anything but normal. Having to forgo live performances for this period was very difficult for us. Like every other professional performing group, we rely heavily on income from our concerts.
We invite you to begin your membership as a Friends of Chicago Bronze patron today. Your continued support is as important as ever to our organization. You can make a one-time or monthly donation in any of the following categories, or make a donation specifically for an item from our Wishlist below.

Thank You to Our Patrons!
It takes a lot of equipment to play in a handbell group. We’re grateful to our patrons through the years who have enabled us to expand our holdings and continue to explore new sounds.
