Annual Fund

A strong and healthy Annual Fund is critically important to the success of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra.

These unrestricted gifts go to work immediately by helping us meet our financial obligations on a daily basis. While the endowment can be viewed as the orchestra’s savings account, the Annual Fund serves as its checkbook.

The Annual Fund supports typical budget expenditures such as:

  • Musician salaries and fees
  • Guest artist travel
  • Orchestra rehearsals
  • Theater rental fees
  • Sound and lighting equipment
  • Program notes
  • Rental or purchase of music
  • Licensing fees
  • Media advertising
  • Office rent
  • Insurance
  • Telephone
  • Internet access
  • Payroll services

Ways To Give

Donors can contribute to the Annual Fund with cash; checks made payable to the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra; credit card (Discover, MasterCard or Visa); automated monthly payments via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT); or gifts of stock.
