Personal Giving

When you make a gift (of any size) to CMA, you help us fulfill our mission and grow the audience for great jazz and chamber music. Community support also allows us to offer CMA Academy programs at no cost to schools, bringing our guest artists into the community, benefiting thousands of children and young adults every year.

Sustaining supporters make ongoing contributions through secure, automatic monthly payments from your credit or debit card. Gifts of just $5 or $10 per month really do make a difference in our ability to bring great live music experiences to central Iowa. Please consider becoming a sustaining supporter – simply choose the option at checkout.
