Each year, earned revenues cover less than half of our $10-million operating costs. Gifts from generous individuals, corporations and foundations make up the balance. It is a delicate duet that plays on in the form of magnificent performances, brilliant guest artists and a rich variety of musical, education and community-outreach programs - with the Sarasota Music Festival as the crescendo each year.
Your online donation immediately supports our annual operations and ensures the musical tradition will not be silenced.
Explanations of benefits are provided upon receipt of gift. The list above does not fully detail some limitations/restrictions that apply to certain donor benefits. The Sarasota Orchestra meets all requirements specified by the Florida Solicitation of Contributions Act.
A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DIVISION OF CONSUMER SERVICES BY CALLING TOLL-FREE WITHIN THE STATE (1-800-435-7352).

A professional solicitor has not been retained and the Sarasota Orchestra receives 100% of your contribution.
