Our Crowdfunding Groups
About Us
The Intermission Orchestra at Berkeley is a student-run organization dedicated to building a community for film, game, and anime enthusiasts and sharing our passions with the Cal community and broader Bay area through our music and performances. As a group funded through private sources, we depend on the generosity of our donors.
Our Goals
We are grateful for the opportunities we have had so far to share our music and serve our communities. As we pass through Intermission’s 6th Anniversary this fall, we are working to book a larger venue for our end-of-year Spring concert to allow for more of the community to join us. Furthermore, to deliver a higher quality of performances at our concerts, we hope to upgrade our sound equipment to provide the best audio experience at our concerts, as well as upgrade our photography and video equipment to improve our content for the community to engage with us, even when they can’t attend our performances in person. Beyond that, we hope to be able to support our members by subsidizing transportation costs to perform at venues anywhere throughout the Bay. We have even grander visions of one day being able to travel throughout California, the US, and even internationally to show our appreciation for film, video games, and anime music that are a worldwide phenomenon. In order to continue growing, we ask for the generosity of individuals so we may perform at new venues, travel to entertain new fans, upgrade our equipment, and find even more ways to connect our love for music with our community. As the Intermission Orchestra continues to grow and spread our outreach around the world, we strive to use our performance opportunities and new equipment to teach members new technical skills and build their repertoire as musicians.
Donate Now!
During this campaign, we really hope you can join us on this new chapter of the Intermission Orchestra’s journey! Through your support, we hope to raise at least $3,000: $700 to support new audio and video equipment for our performances, $2000 to book Hertz Hall and other venues for our concerts, and $300 to subsidize costs for traveling. This is a rough estimate and actual expenditures may vary. Will you make a tax-deductible donation today to support The Intermission Orchestra and help us lay the foundations for spreading Intermission’s reach throughout the Bay and beyond?
If we are unable to reach our goal, the funds we have raised will still go towards purchasing necessary equipment and instruments so that members can have access to valuable resources and so we are able to create new and inspiring music for the community around us to enjoy. It is valuable to us that each of our members has an opportunity to learn and gain enriching experience in the arts of music, audio engineering, art, photography, or video editing, so we would use these funds to purchase equipment, instruments, and training for member use. Your donations will help make dreams come true for a one-of-kind community of musicians, artists, audio engineers, photographers, videographers, and film, game, and anime enthusiasts!
