Endowment Giving

Invest in the Future of Music

At ORCMA, we are dedicated to sustaining the rich tradition of symphonic music in our community. By contributing to our endowment fund, you can help secure the future of our orchestra and ensure that music continues to inspire and uplift for generations to come.

What is an Endowment?

An endowment is a permanent fund where the principal amount is invested, and a portion of the investment income is used annually to support ORCMA’s operations, programs, and initiatives. This creates a reliable source of funding that allows us to plan confidently for the future.

  • Legacy: An endowment gift is a lasting tribute, reflecting your commitment to the arts and your desire to leave a legacy of musical excellence.

  • Impact: Endowment income supports a wide range of activities, from world-class performances and educational programs to community outreach and new artistic initiatives.
