A MESSAGE FROM OUR CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS Dear Friends, We are thrilled that one year after the public announcement of our RESOUNDING Campaign, we continue to make tremendous progress towards our goal of $65 million. With the generous support of our donors, volunteers, musicians and staff, we have raised more than $47.4 million! We remain thankful that many leadership donors have stepped forward recently to add their name to our honor roll; especially those who have permanently attached their name to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra by naming a physical space, a programmatic fund or an endowed orchestra position. As we look ahead, we must not lose sight of the critical long-term importance of this Campaign. We believe firmly that this Campaign is the best pathway forward for the BSO and that growing the endowment is the only way to ensure its viability for our children and for countless generations to come. A robust endowment will create a strong financial foundation to support the organization now and long into the future. Every gift to the endowment provides a dedicated stream of income that the BSO can depend on in perpetuity, one that helps the BSO maintain a solid financial footing even in the most challenging of times. Your investment and partnership foster one of the finest orchestras in the world. Please help us continue this rich tradition by increasing the endowment and making our Campaign a RESOUNDING success. Inspired by the remarkable performances you see on stage? Want to provide greater access to the BSO’s many innovative education programs? Then consider a gift to endow an orchestra chair, guest artist fund or education fund. Or perhaps you prefer to support the area of greatest need? Gifts to the Second Century Endowment Fund support the BSO’s efforts to further its trajectory of artistic excellence, accessibility, and community impact throughout the State and the region. There are numerous opportunities to play your part and we would be delighted to discuss those further with you. The time is now, and we need your help to get us over the finish line. With your continued partnership and generosity, we can and will achieve our goal and set the foundation for another century of extraordinary music!
