The Foundation of our Support

Together we can strengthen the arts and our community, but we need your support, your presence, and your passion. Your advocacy is needed, your generosity is appreciated, and your presence matters here.

The WCO Cornerstone Society is a group of dedicated individuals who make annual gifts of $1,000 or more to support WCO’s mission to advance Wisconsin communities through the transformative power of music. Cornerstone Society members provide the foundation of support that ensures WCO is able to sustain and expand its artistic and engagement programming that reaches 250,000 people each season.

The Partner’s Program of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra is a premier donor club that celebrates the partnering of major individual donors and the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra’s elite musicians. Members of the Partner’s Program have opportunities to socialize and get to know their sponsored musicians.
