Annual Gifts & Contributions
The Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon is a nonprofit community organization that relies on annual gifts from individuals, contributions from businesses, foundation and agency grants, concert program advertising, special events, concert partner (sponsor) funding and corporate support to help underwrite concerts, rehearsals, music training programs and ongoing operations. Musicians pay a nominal annual tuition. All qualified musicians, however, may participate regardless of financial circumstances. The YSSO seeks support from individuals and foundations to help underwrite full or partial tuition waivers and lesson assistance for YSSO musicians.
