HOW TO GIVE
Your gifts will have a transformative effect on WYSO musicians and their journeys, and there are many ways to make this happen. From a Gift of Cash to Stock Transfers to IRA Contributions to including WYSO in your Estate Plans, you can select how you would like to continue the WYSO Mission.
THE ENDOWED CHAIR PROGRAM
Of the many opportunities to support WYSO, Endowing a Chair carries special significance. Almost 55 years after auditioning for the first WYSO orchestra, Bruce Matthews continues to show his support for the organization. His gift, the Bruce Matthews Principal Horn Chair, will ensure that current and future WYSO students will continue to receive high-quality orchestral training in perpetuity.
SPONSORSHIP & EVENT
GIVING
Annual fundraising events and sponsorship opportunities generate funds that go toward WYSO scholarships, tours, private lessons, instrument repair, workshops, masterclasses, and much much more! Your gift helps WYSO keep tuition as low as possible for students and families.
