Lasting Legacies - Endowment Giving

The endowment is the financial underpinning of the Jackson Symphony Orchestra Association. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the investment expertise of our Trustees, the endowment now exceeds $1 million, remarkable for a regional orchestra. Increasing the endowment can be made outright during a donor's lifetime or through a retirement plan, insurance policy, estate or trust. If you have questions about endowment giving, please contact Mary Spring at (517)782-3221 or email

Sustaining the Vision

All of us, individually and together, will find our lives enriched because we believe in and support the Jackson Symphony Orchestra. The Staff and Board of Directors gratefully acknowledge the very generous support of those individuals who have been sustaining the vision and helping the JSO to continue its positive role in our community. Over 50% of our season ticket holders also contribute to the annual fund.

Enjoy the Benefits of Contributing to the Jackson Symphony Orchestra!

JSO contributors believe that music is an important part of our lives and are committed to supporting a great organization and providing a legacy of arts for future generations. Without such support the JSO would not be able to bring great concerts, outreach and educational programs to Jackson area residents. Beyond the stage and the music class room, JSO annual fund contributors also enjoy great premiums as our way of saying thank you for your support!

The JSO annual fund is the life blood of the Jackson Symphony Orchestra. It sustains our players, provides a home for the orchestra and community music school, helps keep ticket prices affordable, subsidizes the expense of programs like the home school orchestra, early childhood music and a host of special music events offered by the Jackson Symphony. Please consider joining us with a tax-exempt gift to the Jackson Symphony Orchestra Annual Fund.
