While some funds are raised from event registrations and admissions, they only cover a fraction of our costs. We depend on individual donations to ensure our instructors and performers are fairly compensated, and to cover miscellaneous expenses and administrative costs.

​​

All donations are made through the Baltimore Irish Music School, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and are tax deductible.
