Our 2025-2026 season! Brought to you by our generous sponsors and donors.
Dear Friends of BGMC and NCTM,
As we prepare to celebrate our 25th Anniversary Season, we are asking our community to help us finish this year strong.
Over the past year, the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus and Nickel City Treble Makers have continued to grow in both size and impact. Together, we have expanded opportunities for LGBTQIA2S+ singers and allies, reached new audiences, and created welcoming spaces where people can connect through music, community, and advocacy.
However, we still have work to do.
As our fiscal year comes to a close on June 30, we remain $20,000 short of our Capital Campaign goal.
Today, we are excited to announce a special opportunity to make your gift go twice as far.
A generous supporter has pledged to match every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $7,500 through June 30.
That means:
• A $50 gift becomes $100
• A $100 gift becomes $200
• A $250 gift becomes $500
• A $500 gift becomes $1,000
Our goal is to raise $15,000 from donors over the next two weeks, unlocking the full $7,500 match and helping us close the gap before the end of the fiscal year.
Your support helps provide:
• Safe and affirming spaces for singers and audiences
• Rehearsal and performance venues
• Music, production, and artistic programming
• Outreach and community engagement initiatives
• The continued growth of both BGMC and Nickel City Treble Makers
Every gift matters. Every gift is doubled. Every gift helps ensure that our voices continue to inspire, educate, and unite our community through song.
Please consider making a contribution today and helping us unlock the full matching challenge before June 30.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us build the next chapter of our story.
