Support your Symphony
Ticket sales cover approximately one-third of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra's annual operating budget. The balance of the budget comes from our generous donors, whose continued support ensures that our music never stops. Your gift to the GSO's Encore Society will not only support our Masterworks, Chamber Orchestra and Pops concerts, but also the many Education Outreach and community programs that are essential to teaching Greenvillians the importance of orchestral music.
Edvard’s Educators Challenge Grant
The Greenville Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce that an anonymous donor has generously provided a $50,000 Challenge Grant for the remainder of the 2011-2012 concert season. The “Edvard’s Educators Challenge Grant” will match corporate and foundation gifts made to the Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s Educational Programs.
Through our highly successful childhood educational programs such as Lollipops (supported by BMW) and Timbre Tales (in collaboration with the SC Children’s Theatre), EdReach and our Michelin Children’s Concert, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra expects to reach nearly 24,000 children this year at no cost to participants. Your support is crucial if we are to continue offering these programs.
We need your help to ensure that this generous challenge grant is maximized. For information about the “Edvard’s Educators Challenge Grant” for corporations and foundations, contact Marshall Johnson, Development Director, at 864-232-0344, x22 or marshall@greenvillesymphony.org.
