How to Support or Donate to Concert Bells of Fort Worth
Updated
Concert Bells of Fort Worth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ensemble supported entirely through donations, so the most direct way to support it is to give through the "Donate now" option on concertbells.com. If you prefer a timed campaign, the site also points to North Texas Giving Day, where early giving is open. Both routes fund the same thing: an auditioned community handbell ensemble that has performed since 1998.
Ways to Give
Donate directly on the website
The homepage includes a "Donate now" link under its support section. Because the organization states it is supported entirely through donations, this is the primary ongoing channel rather than a one-time seasonal ask.
Give through North Texas Giving Day
The site highlights a North Texas Giving Day campaign and notes that early giving is open. This is a scheduled regional giving event, so if you want your gift counted toward that campaign, use the link on the site rather than waiting.
Attend a concert
Ticket revenue is not described on the site, but attendance supports the group's mission of artistic handbell performance. The announced Christmas 2026 season includes:
| Date | Venue | Location | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 12, 2026 | Arlington Heights United Methodist Church | Fort Worth | 4:00 PM |
| Dec 13, 2026 | Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church | Dallas | 4:00 PM |
| Dec 19, 2026 | Hurst Public Library | Hurst | 4:00 PM |
Details for each event are available through the "Events" button on the website.
Why Donations Matter Here
Concert Bells of Fort Worth describes itself as an auditioned community ensemble of advanced ringers from North Texas, founded in 1998, performing repertoire that ranges from classical transcriptions to original works. As a 501(c)(3) supported entirely by donations, it does not rely on a institutional budget to sustain that programming. Donations underwrite the group's ability to rehearse and perform at this level.
The ensemble's reputation in the handbell field is documented by outside voices: composer and clinician Michael Joy praised its 2023 HMA National Seminar program under director Stephanie Rhoades for "a wide variety of styles, technical expertise, and musical artistry."
Before You Give
- Confirm you are on concertbells.com and use the site's own "Donate now" link rather than a third-party page.
- If you want your gift tied to North Texas Giving Day, check whether early giving is still open at the time you give.
- The site does not publish donation amounts, tiers, or payment methods, so treat any specific figure or platform as something to verify on the donation page itself.
- For questions about giving, use the contact route listed on the site; the organization does not publish a separate giving FAQ in the material available.
Other Ways to Help Beyond Money
The site's "Our Media" section offers photographs and recordings of past concerts. Sharing those, or bringing someone to a December 2026 performance, extends the ensemble's reach without a financial gift. If you are a ringer or know one, the group's auditioned structure means its membership pipeline also depends on awareness within the North Texas handbell community.
