Harmony Foundation logo transparentDonors Launch Largest Match in Foundation History!
The Legacy of Harmony Endowment Campaign to ensure the future of singing is underway. So important is that future that 6 donors have thrown down the largest matching challenge in Foundation History! John & Sharon Miller, Dick & Peggy Lidstad, and one more anonymous couple have pledged a 1:10 'Cash Gift-to-Planned Gift' Match... of a half million dollars! 

For every $10 in pledged Planned Gifts (Wills, Bequests, Life Insurance Beneficiaries, etc), these donors will give Harmony Foundation $1 in Cash today.
