Columbia Bands Funding

Columbia Bands, Inc. funding comes from various sources:

• CBI is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org). 

• CBI also receives grants from the Howard County Arts Council (hocoarts.org) and the Community Foundation of Howard County (cfhoco.org).

• Annual dues from band members

• ​Band performance fees

• Advertising and program sponsorship

• Donations from the public, band members, and matching contributions

​Donating to Columbia Bands, Inc. will help us continue providing great performances, and will support the arts as a whole. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, so your donation is tax-deductible. Receipts are available upon request.

Update: CBI now uses Cheddar Up to receive donations from our fans as well as dues payments from our members. The link below will direct you to the Cheddar Up site, which accepts debit and credit cards, as well as other forms of payment. Thank you!

Please let us know if you have any problems. Thanks!
