Whether you are a musician, advertiser, business owner, volunteer, or sponsor, we have a part for you to play when supporting the Civic Symphony of Green Bay in our mission of making music you like by people you know. Financial contributions in the form of advertisements, donations, and sponsorships make the arts possible. Without the leadership of small businesses, individuals, and large companies, there would be no score, no musicians, and no music.
The Civic Symphony of Green Bay, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Federal Identification Number 39-1832060.
Donations:
Donate online: PayPal Giving Fund is our preferred method for online donations since there are no fees for the orchestra. Please check the option to share your name & email with us, so that we can recognize you in our program book donor acknowledgement. Otherwise your PayPal Giving Fund donation will reach us as an anonymous gift.
Alternatively, you can set up monthly recurring donations. The orchestra pays processing fees on these transactions, but we offer it as an option for your convenience to do smaller recurring donations vs. a one-time contribution.
