San Francisco Opera is offering secure transaction facilities to allow supporters
to pay membership fees.
“So far we are still the first opera company anywhere to
have a secure credit card join page”, says David Newhoff of the Development Department.

Supporters can become a member, renew a membership, increase membership payment,
make a pledged donation, and include a matching gift from their company. The site
is sumptuously illustrated with scenes from within the auditorium and from SFO productions.

The fundraising information includes deails on on membership events and on the corporate
support programme, the corporate council. This offers marketing, promotional, cultivation
and hospitality opportunities as well as other special services and benefits.
