Salina Symphony

Specific Need

Even with a growing audience, tickets sales cover just 30% of the Symphony's annual expenses. Donations account for the difference, with gifts from individuals like you serving as our principal source of contributed income. When you make a gift of any size to the Salina Symphony, your contribution directly supports the performances and programs you appreciate while also supporting the Youth Education Program and other educational offerings.

Each year, the Symphony provides approximately 25% of Youth Education Program students with fee assistance due to inability to pay. Your support will enable us to continue to make our youth program accessible to students of all socioeconomic levels.

Thank you in advance for your generous support of our mission!
