Friends of Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble

The Friends of the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble program provides an opportunity for individuals and corporations to assist the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble in continuing their service to the community and to the handbell world. As an all-volunteer ensemble, your contribution will go exclusively to extending our outreach, conducting workshops, commissioning music, expanding our handbell sets and equipment and presenting concerts.

The Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble is a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are completely tax-deductible; corporate matching fund programs are welcome. All levels of donation receive acknowledgement in our programs and on this website. If your company is interested in becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact us.

The official registration and financial information of the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.
