Five Minute Interview: Jim Ricciuti, Passim Folk Music and Cultural Center

FS: Can you describe a recent successful fundraising effort?
JR: We just concluded our Annual Appeal for 2007 with great success. This was done largely via mail but also included e-mail and phone contacts. A key to this appeal was that Passim has turned 50 in 2008. It’s an exciting time to be a part of this organization, whether you are a performer, audience member, donor, volunteer or staff member. So when people think of Passim, they can reflect on our rich 50-year history that has included some of America’s most treasured musicians. Then they think to the next 50 years. Each night is an opportunity to make a lifelong relationship with an artist.
