This is your opportunity. THIS IS YOUR IMPACT.

By giving to the Columbus Symphony’s Annual Fund, you will be giving to the community. Donors to the Columbus Symphony play a crucial role in sustaining the Symphony’s tradition of artistic excellence. Ticket revenue alone does not cover the cost of presenting symphonic programs of the highest caliber, nor does it pay for our nationally recognized education programs and community engagement efforts.



Strong communities are the pillars of support behind strong orchestras. It is the Annual Fund’s mission to expand and educate our family of supporters to help prepare our Orchestra to move successfully into the future. We rely on your charitable support to accomplish this. Consider the many ways in which your contribution can help ensure a strong future for the Columbus Symphony.

We are pleased to offer the following benefits and privileges to our generous donors who support the annual fund with unrestricted gifts.
