We’ve been pecking away at a lot of important and necessary things to get Georgetown Tidal Tales started, and to keep it successful throughout this year and beyond! In the process, we’ve incurred considerable expenses.
Georgetown Tidal Tales donates all proceeds from its four quarterly evening performances (after covering the cost of the band, promotion, and venue) to a local, qualified 501(c)(3). Still, we have significant costs for legal set-up, marketing and promotional materials, insurance, signage, stage/set pieces, copying, and other administrative charges. All Tidal Tales Board Members are volunteers and the program is run out of the corner desk in the living room of the founder!
All donations will be acknowledged via USPS with a letter from Georgetown Tidal Tales.
We thank you for your donation of any amount!

Georgetown Tidal Tales is pleased to showcase our valued donors at the following levels:
