Juneau Symphony Foundation

Endowment Fund

Play your part to support the Juneau Symphony of today and tomorrow!

For more than 60 years the Juneau Symphony has been an integral part of our community and has helped make Juneau a great place to live. The Symphony receives just one-third of its annual revenues from event ticket sales so we rely on donations large and small to provide high quality performances and reach more people in our community, including youth and families.

Endowment fund donations to the Juneau Symphony Foundation ensure the Juneau Symphony is sustainable, affordable, resilient and able to innovate and grow, providing supplemental funding each year for the operations of the Symphony.

Your gift enables live performances of beloved classics to new works for the enjoyment of our community now and into the future and provides resources to assist our youth programs, ensuring a bright future for orchestral music in our community for years to come. 

The Juneau Symphony Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, created in 2000 with its own board of trustees as an endowment fund.

• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)  from donor retirement accounts
• Gifting of appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
• Donor advised funds
• Charitable Gift Annuities
• Bequeaths from wills or revocable living trusts
• Donations to biannual matching endowment campaigns
