Plus, we offer discounted subscription packages for as few as three concerts. Their ticket sales should be enough to cover their costs. Therefore the RSO depends on individual, corporate and foundation gifts in order to bridge the gap between concert revenue and operating expenses. The Rockford Symphony currently has an endowment fund. The interest income on this fund helps offset organizational expenses throughout the year.
Planning is underway to embark on a significant endowment campaign over the next three years.
If you are interested in making a donation to the endowment fund, please contact the RSO's Director of Development, Gwen Quirk at 965-0049. I'm just a small business. In addition, the RSO will work with individual businesses to tailor any sponsorship opportunity to the specific needs of your company. I'm concerned about the lack of arts programs in area schools. The RSO also sponsors Family Night at Rehearsal, a dress rehearsal prior to each Classics Concert that is free and open to the public.
