Outside of Bang on a Can's People's Commissioning Fund, there aren't many places where everyday folk can help fund new music. Enter MATA, which has made the job easy for you:

• $20 will give a young composer the thrill of a first royalty
• $30 will purchase an hour of rehearsal space for the 2009 MATA festival
•  $50 will provide a young composer with a high-quality recording of their work

C'mon, you probably spent more than that at the stupid bar last night. Get in the holiday spirit and make some music happen.
