SUPPORT THE TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER OF BIG EARS

Over ten years, Big Ears has become one of the world’s most acclaimed and eagerly anticipated musical and cultural events.  Now established as a 501c3 non-profit organization with a strong Board of Directors, Big Ears is made possible by generous support from foundations, grants and individual donors. Given ticket sales account for about half of our expenses,  this support enables us to continue to program our mind-blowing series of world-class performances, and to offer free programming for new audiences of all ages.  Consider a tax-deductible gift to Big Ears and unlock a range of donor benefits, including unique experiences at the 2019 festival. Click below to make a donation.
