$25,000 Challenge Gift Announced

Help us reach our fiscal year-end fundraising goal today!

As your Elgin Symphony Orchestra enters its fiscal year-end fundraising campaign, we are excited to announce that all donations made between today and June 30, 2024, will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 by an anonymous donor.

Your gift will support our extraordinary live concerts; engaging  community programs, including our Musicians Care program that brings ESO musicians to hospitals, hospices, senior centers; supplemental music education in local elementary and middle schools through our Adopt-A-School program, and more.

Keeping these performances available for all to enjoy is a collaboration, relying on the generosity of people like you. We are endlessly grateful for the support of those in our community, but for every $1 the ESO earns in ticket sales, it must be matched by an additional $2 of contributed support to cover annual expenses. By making a gift today, you can double your impact and give the gift of live orchestra music to our community. 

I WANT TO DOUBLE MY IMPACT BY DONATING TODAY

If you prefer to give by check, please make checks payable to Elgin Symphony Orchestra and mail to: Elgin Symphony Orchestra, 20 DuPage Ct., Elgin, IL 60120.

For information about donating stock or including the ESO in your estate plans, please call Marc Thayer at 847-888-4000.
