The Believer's Circle
Give Because You Believe
An unrestricted gift of any size, no perks attached — for those who simply believe a 21st-century orchestra has to exist. Goes straight to the work.
Philanthropy / Beyond Membership
Give because you believe this needs to exist.
Some gifts come with seats and meet-and-greets. Others come with nothing but the quiet certainty that a 21st-century orchestra has to be built — and that you helped build it. These are those gifts.
Why Philanthropic Support Matters
Tickets cover roughly a third of what it takes to run a hybrid chamber orchestra at this level. Memberships and sponsorships close part of the gap. Philanthropy is what funds the artistic risk, the new commissions, and the next generation of musicians — the things no one else will pay for.
Ways to Give
Choose where your gift lives.
The Musician Fund
Support a Musician
Stand behind the artists who make Nu Deco possible. Your gift directly supports the world-class musicians who rehearse, record, and take our stage season after season — honoring their craft and sustaining the ensemble that defines Miami's sound.
The Commission Fund
Underwrite a New Work
Put your name — or someone you love — on a brand-new piece of American music. World-premiered by Nu Deco, recorded for broadcast, performed for years to come.
The Touring Fund
Send Nu Deco on the Road
Help carry Miami's sound to new cities and festivals. Every dollar funds the trucks, the rehearsals, and the artists who carry this music beyond Florida.
Education & Outreach
Champion Nu Deco Education Concerts
Fuel the programs that put Nu Deco in classrooms, community centers, and neighborhoods across Miami — Imagination, NXT, Access, and Connected. Your gift opens doors for students and audiences who might otherwise never experience live orchestral music.
NXT Student Fellowship
Send a Kid to NXT
Fully fund one Miami-Dade teen's year in our free youth ensemble — instrument, mentorship, masterclasses, and a stage at the Arsht. Honor or memorial gifts welcomed.
Beyond an Annual Gift
Inquire HerePlanned giving, donor-advised funds, and honor gifts.
Planned & Legacy Gifts
Include Nu Deco in your will, trust, or estate plan. Legacy giving builds the endowment that lets a young institution take artistic risk for the next 50 years.
Donor-Advised Funds
Recommend a grant from your DAF directly to Nu Deco Ensemble, a registered 501(c)(3). We'll work with your advisor on the paperwork.
Honor & Memorial Gifts
Honor a teacher, a parent, or a friend who shaped your life in music. Honor gifts can be tied to a specific commission, NXT seat, or program of your choice.
