Interlochen Center for the Arts 2021 Annual Report

Leadership Annual Giving In a year filled with extraordinary needs by many arts and community organizations, leadership donors enthusiastically and passionately kept Interlochen strong by supporting the Interlochen Annual Fund. We are especially grateful to the 178 members of the President’s Club ($5,000+ annual gift) and the 326 members of the W. Clement Stone Society ($1,000+ annual gift). Your generosity helped today’s and tomorrow’s creative changemakers. SHARING A CREATIVE EXPERIENCE In 1997, Song-Mee received the gift of Camp from her parents, Rick Smith and Soon-Young Yoon. She arrived as a junior camper and left as a high schooler. Today, President’s Club members Rick and Soon-Young proudly give back so new campers of any age can have the same creative experience Song-Mee found at Interlochen.

"We saw how the Camp experience enriched our daughter's life over seven summers—and, in fact, for a lifetime. We're honored to help share that creative experience with others through our direct contributions and by supporting a summer Interlochen experience for a diverse group of talented young musicians from New York City." — Rick Smith and Soon-Young Yoon

EVERGREENS: INTERLOCHEN’S NEW GIVING PROGRAM

Launched in September 2020, Interlochen Evergreens is the new recurring giving program of the Interlochen Annual Fund. Members are donors whose monthly support ensures scholarships have stable revenue every month and every year. This year, 158 members gave $89,000 to help young artists come to Interlochen.

Thank you to all the Evergreens for keeping Interlochen strong.

"I decided to give a recurring gift to support an institution that has played a very big role in my family’s life. I wanted to give back to a place that has given my children endless opportunities. Spreading the giving out over time with a sustaining gift makes it easy on my family's budget." —Heather Lee, Camp Parent and Interlochen Evergreen
