Encore Society
$75,000 "Challenge to the Challenge" Grant
The Greenville Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce that last year's donor of the "Challenge Grant" has generously provided another $75,000 "Challenge to the Challenge" for the GSO's 2010-2011 season. This "Challenge to the Challenge" will match donations from individual donors who move from one giving level to the next (e.g., Director's Circle to Maestro's Circle) as well as first-time donations of at least $150. The C2C will also match new corporate donations from businesses that contribute in the 2010-2011 seaeson. For more information about the "Challenge to the Challenge," contact Anne Genevieve Gallivan at (864) 232-0344, x22.
We need your help to ensure the grant is maximized. If you are a current donor, and move up to the next giving level, the increase in your gift from last season will be matched. To make your gift online, click here. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
