Symphony 2000 Endowment Fund

A gift to the Austin Symphony’s Endowment Fund will help build a stable and secure financial foundation for the ASO. This fund will assure the Orchestra’s continued excellence and educational programs for future generations. The Board of Directors has begun a campaign to build the Endowment Fund to a significant level by the year 2007. A gift to this fund —- Symphony 2000 -— will be a permanent investment in the Austin Symphony, as only the interest earned on the principal of these funds will ever be spent.

There are many unique opportunities for those who wish to invest in the future of the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Endowment gift opportunities are available to endow orchestra chairs, concerts, guest artists, educational programs, or establish legacies for honored individuals.
