PHILHARMONIC FORWARD CAMPAIGN
The Philharmonic Forward Campaign was introduced prior to the 2015-2016 season with a goal of raising $10 million to bolster the Philharmonic Society’s endowment. Thanks to several transformational gifts and commitments, we surpassed $16 million.
As a reminder, the campaign has three components:
- An endowment for artistic excellence and innovation will support the presentation of the world’s leading
orchestras, classical soloists, and chamber ensembles while also allowing the Society to expand its eclectic
programming, interdisciplinary projects, and new work offerings.
- An endowment for education and community programs will strengthen youth music education and family programs, community engagement, and the Society’s on-campus presence at schools.
- A current needs capital funds program for organizational sustainability will provide working capital to secure the finest artists well in advance of upcoming seasons.
These funds will bolster the Society’s broad mission of supporting the tradition of Western classical music while
allowing us to present diverse music from emerging artists. It will also allow us to expand music education programs for K-12 and college students, creating a new generation of people who value great music.
Campaign leadership has been provided by Co-Chairs Donna Kendall and Douglas Smith, joined by a deeply committed Executive Committee. With their energetic guidance, we are well-positioned to engage the entire Philharmonic family in support of this transformational initiative. For more information, contact Ron Dufault, VP of Development, at (949) 553-2422, ext. 202, or email Ron@PhilharmonicSociety.org.
SECURING THE FUTURE
The Philharmonic Society’s campaign is the first of its kind in the organization’s history. It will grow the Society’s endowment—providing greater opportunities for the presentation of the world’s leading orchestras and other musical performances while expanding our educational and community outreach—and also establish a current needs fund for organizational sustainability and flexibility. We are proud to recognize those who are helping secure the Society’s future with a gift to the Philharmonic Forward Campaign. We are grateful for their support, which will help fuel the Society’s growth and provide a legacy of incomparable music and superb music education programs in perpetuity.

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of the Fund for Music during the past twelve months.
