The North Carolina Symphony can only fulfill our mission of statewide service, music education, and artistic excellence because of generous support from people like you! While the Symphony fills concert halls, ticket sales cover only a portion of the cost to stage our performances and provide music education opportunities. More than one-third of our costs are funded by individuals like you.
Your support plays a direct role in bringing orchestral music to more than 250,000 people each year, from Raleigh to Wilmington and Murphy to Manteo—including more than 150,000 children in all 100 counties. Plus, your gift to the Symphony will count towards the State Challenge Grant goal, enhancing your generosity even further!

Monthly Giving Support our extraordinary performances and unrivaled music education programs all year long by joining our monthly giving program. Simply choose a gift of any amount (starting at just $5) to be automatically drafted monthly through your credit card, debit card, or bank account. Monthly giving is an easy and efficient way to give, and this ongoing and steadfast support has a tremendous impact.
Donor Advised Funds The Symphony does accept Donor Advised Fund (DAF) contributions; however, donating through a DAF may limit the donor benefits that you can receive. Because a maximum tax deduction is received when funds are contributed to a DAF, a donor cannot legally receive any benefits with a substantial fair market value for a gift made from a DAF. The North Carolina Symphony will provide any relevant benefits in your appropriate giving circle that have insubstantial or no fair market value. If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you can request a distribution directly to the North Carolina Symphony Society using the DAF Direct website.
Learn More about Donor Benefits In gratitude for your support, we invite you to enjoy benefits to enhance your experience with the North Carolina Symphony and see the impact of your generosity firsthand. It’s our way of saying thank you! Benefits include access to open rehearsals, VIP parking, admittance to donor suites at concerts, invitations to exclusive events, and so much more.
It may be possible to double the impact of your gift! Many companies will match contributions from current and retired employees; some even match the gifts of employees’ spouses.
