Individual Donors

Individual gifts are the single largest source of non-ticket revenue for the Symphony. Each year, individuals give approximately $250,000 to the Symphony. Donors are recognized by inclusion in a donor society—the Maestro Society for gifts of $1000 and more and the Noteworthy Society for gifts from $100 to $999. The giving levels and benefits for each society are listed below. All donors are listed in the Season Program Book and receive "Backstage" - the Lansing Symphony Orchestra newsletter.
