membership information

Like other nonprofit arts and music organizations, The BAAM Foundation counts on financial contributions and support of arts and music fans. Donations and memberships fees are tax deductible. Please take a moment to review each of the membership levels and look at the current membership incentives. What do you get by joining the BAAM Foundation? You get the satisfaction of supporting inner city at-risk youth, after school programs and public art events. Contributions also support The BAAM Foundation - Annual Music Awards, Public Arts Awards, Art In Schools Challenge and the Bay Area Achievements Awards to name a prominent few. You become part of the BAAM family that recognizes that each of us has the duty to support the art and music we love.

Your membership is evidence that you understand that art and music fans must be our first line of support. You do this by becoming a member and participating in the many activities of BAAM, by purchasing the art and music of your favorite artists. Your membership and by going to see live music, art exhibits and local festivals, you further demonstrate the importance of art and music in our schools and public.

All members receive a official membership card. Friend members and above can vote for their favorite artists and music groups at the annual BAAM Award Show. Membership cards are recognized at associated Bay Area stores, galleries, clubs and festivals, where the member will receive incredible discounts. Each member receives a window decal proclaiming them a Proud Supporter of The BAAM Foundation. Higher levels of support bring additional privileges.

Check out the various levels and current incentives below and join today. Not the joining type or already a member but want to make an additional tax-deductible charitable donation--you can do that below too. If you would rather send a check, that is fine too. Send to: The Bay Area Art & Music Foundation, PO Box 5296, Richmond, CA 94805.
