Individual Membership FAQs
How Membership Works
The Individual Supporter membership is an annual membership, valid for a
period of one year (on a calendar year basis). You will be the first to find
out about all the events organised by the Pharos Arts Foundation. In
addition, you will be given the opportunity to reserve your tickets before
the general public.
Once you make a donation, your membership will be immediately activated and
you will receive your membership card within a couple of weeks.
As a member, you will receive announcements with information about each of
the events organised the Pharos Arts Foundation. These can be sent by E-mail
and post, but we recommend E-mail as the fastest and greener method, so
please make sure that you include your E-mail address on the contribution
form. Not only will you be given priority in reserving your tickets, but you
will be able to make your reservations directly over the phone through the
Pharos Arts Foundation office, a service that is offered exclusively to our
supporters.

How long is my membership valid for?

to become a friend or renew your membership at the beginning of each year to
enjoy all the benefits of the membership.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my membership?
Contributions are fully tax deductible under Cyprus law. All contributions
can be deduced in their
entirety from the supporter?s annual income tax. The Pharos Arts Foundation
is a Cyprus registered charitable trust registered with the Supreme Court of
Cyprus by Deed No 91 deposited in the Supreme Court.
Why become a Friend?
As a non-profit organization, the Pharos Arts Foundation is directly
dependent on sponsorship, gifts and other contributions for the continuing
development and enrichment of its programmes and for maintaining the high
standard of its activities. Any increase in your payment towards your
membership allows us to present the world's most sought-after performers,
offer a number of free educational projects to students of primary,
secondary and higher education, stimulate cultural development and
intellectual and
artistic growth. Once you are at the Patrons Level (?3.500 and up) any
increase will also add to your partial charitable tax receipt.
Are Individual Supporter tickets available for all events? Yes
How can I pay? We accept cash, credit cards (American Express, Visa,
MasterCard, Diners) and cheque or you can make your contribution by bank's
standing order/direct debit.
Is monetary contribution the only way to support the Pharos Arts
Foundation? No,
The Pharos Arts Foundation accepts contributions in kind, most contributions of
this type being for office equipment or costs associated with
specific events. Contributions in kind are recognised as the equivalent of their
monetary value and are acknowledged in the same fashion as other
contributions. Examples include: Donation of musical instruments or other
equipment, Provision of video/audio/photographic services or materials,
Provision of computer equipment and other office equipment. Provision of airline
tickets, hotel accommodation, catering services, wine or flowers. The
Foundation also accepts donations of assets such as shares, bonds and
property, which may be sold and reinvested in agreement with the donor for a
pre-agreed funding purpose.
We will be pleased to receive your ideas.
