Gifts to the Symphony Nova Scotia Foundation support the long-term health and stability of your Symphony.

Why Donate to the Symphony Nova Scotia Foundation?

Symphony Nova Scotia is supported in part by the Symphony Nova Scotia Foundation, an independent endowment fund supervised by a voluntary Board of Trustees.

The Foundation exists to provide a reliable source of funding to support exceptional projects, protect the Symphony from fluctuations in annual resources, and ensure that the orchestra’s music will live on for future Nova Scotians to enjoy.

Each gift to the Foundation increases the annual investment income available to support the programs and projects of Symphony Nova Scotia.
