Sustaining Giving
Sustaining Donors commit to making a monthly, recurring gift to the Madison Symphony Orchestra. A monthly gift is a convenient and easy way to incorporate giving into your life, while providing a meaningful gift that supports our continuous, year-round efforts to share great music with everyone in the community. When you become a Sustaining Donor, you’ll automatically receive the MSO’s standard Individual Giving benefits at the level equivalent to your full annual commitment (your gift times twelve!).
Additionally, learn more about making a one-time gift and leadership giving.
