Tickets for Good
Tickets for Good is an initiative designed to help non-profit organizations and public schools raise money while helping ACG grow our audience and meet new friends. Here’s how it works: The participating organization invites their supporters to buy tickets to one of our concerts, and we’ll give the organization all of the proceeds from that ticket sale. Simple as that!
If you’re part of an organization that might like to participate in this program, we invite you to fill out and submit the form below.
The Story of Tickets for Good
The Tickets for Good program originated in 2017, in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. As the images of devastation began coming in from Houston and other places in the storm’s path, ACG teamed together with Austin Chamber Music Center, the Miro Quartet, and Conspirare to put on a benefit concert called “Hope After Harvey.” We raised $37,500 from ticket sales in just four days, and gave all of it to relief organizations working on the ground in Houston. It felt good! So we thought, why not do this all the time? Why not use the world-class events we produce to benefit charitable causes, especially for organizations that don’t have social and artistic events regularly built into their programming? Tickets For Good (TFG) was born, and we’ve already raised over $50,000 for our charitable partners.
How does it work? Approved 501c3 partner organizations (apply above) share promotional information we provide with friends and supporters about an upcoming ACG concert. Friends and supporters buy tickets, enjoy a nice night of music together, and then ACG sends all the money to the partner organization.
TFG benefits non-religious and non-political 501(c)3 charitable organizations and public school art or music programs. There will be no more than five TFG participating organizations for any single ACG event. ACG Ticket buyers may designate a TFG recipient only if that organization is one of the current partnering organizations for the event being attended. At its discretion, ACG may choose to limit the number of times an organization can participate in TFG to once within a single concert season (fiscal year), once within a calendar year, or place any other limitations it wishes. ACG reserves the right to select or refuse any Partner Organization for any reason without explanation, and is the sole arbiter for TFG partnerships.
100% of each assigned ticket purchase (less credit card fees) will be donated back to the charity via check within 4-6 weeks of the concert. Patron donations added beyond ticket orders will be considered donations to ACG.
