Ways to Give to Annual Fund

What You Can Do For Your Orchestra

If you've been to an NMSO concert lately, you've already supported the orchestra by buying a ticket. However, ticket sales make up less than half of the NMSO's total income each year. Generous individuals, corporations and foundations in Albuquerque and around the state contribute the remaining income through donations to the Annual Fund and to the NMSO special fundraising and Guild-sponsored events. Government sources make up only 4% of our income.

The Annual Fund is the backbone of contributed income each year. Because the NMSO is a nonprofit arts organization, it will always depend on the Annual Fund not only to survive, but to thrive.

A donation to the Annual Fund supports concerts, educational enrichment programs, free family concerts, and every other concert you love.

This year we have a special fundraising goal of $2,000,000 for our "Keep the Symphony Playing" campaign. All it takes is for you to help in any way you can. Every donation, no matter the amount, is needed and gratefully accepted. At least 2,000 donors are needed to make this year's Annual Fund drive a success.

Donations of $125 and more will be acknowledged in our program books.

Please take a moment today to help us in our endeavor today.
