Gifts to the Temple Symphony Orchestra Annual Season Fund are for general operating expenses and assist in keeping ticket prices affordable. Ticket income covers only a small percentage of concert expenses, so we must rely upon donations and sponsorships to make up the difference. Your contributions are instrumental in the success and continued growth of the Temple Symphony Orchestra. Donations of $25 or more and sponsorships are acknowledged on the donation pages of our concert programs.

Gifts to the Temple Symphony Orchestra Endowment Fund help ensure artistic musical excellence and financial stability of the Temple Symphony Orchestra. Income from this fund provides ongoing annual support for TSO.

Gifts in honor of or in memory of someone special. Memorial and honorarium gifts are thoughtful ways to express your feelings or commemorate a life event.

Memorials celebrate the life of an individual. Acknowledgement cards are sent to the individual’s family, informing them of your gift. Please, include the family's mailing address in the donation note.

All memorial and honorarium gifts are placed into our Endowment Fund, to help ensure the future of the Temple Symphony Orchestra.

Gifts from individuals or families who have named the Waco Symphony Foundation as beneficiary in their wills or other planned gifts (such as life insurance policies, IRAs or trusts).

Gifts can bring live music beyond the concert hall by sending our string quartet into schools, hospitals, and the community to share the joy of music where it’s needed most.
