We are grateful for the contributions of the many generous individuals and organizations who support the KSO.

Only a small portion of the annual operating budget for the KSO comes from ticket sales and advertising. Other necessary funding for the orchestra’s operation comes from grants, contributions, and other fundraising events. The KSO is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization, and donations to it are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Ready to help support the KSO's mission to engage, educate, and enrich the community through music? Please use the donation form to make contributions to the KSO's General Operating Fund or one or more of our other funds. You can learn more about these funds below.

This fund was established in the fall of 2019 by the Kishwaukee Symphony Associates (KSA) and the KSO Board of Directors to help orchestra and band programs in DeKalb County provide musical instruments for deserving middle school students. For more information, please contact Music Education Outreach Fund Chair, Deb Loitz, at musicoutreach@kishorchestra.org. Learn more about the Music Education Outreach Fund.

The KID Project collects unwanted/unused band and orchestra instruments from the community. Instruments are inspected, cleaned and repaired, then are donated to DeKalb County school music departments for use by aspiring music students who cannot afford to rent or purchase their own instrument. For more information, please contact Music Education Outreach Chair, Deb Loitz, at musicoutreach@kishorchestra.org. Learn more about our KID Project.
