Support your symphony
The future of SKS
In early 2023, South Kansas Symphony incorporated as a not-for-profit entity and filed as an IRS 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit.
We are extremely grateful for the continued support from Southwestern College following the dissolution of their Fine Arts degree programs. However, now that our symphony is considered an independent entity, your generous donations are needed now more than ever in order to continue. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
The Legacy Regional Community Foundation will be the recipient and caretaker of symphony donations and funds. Please see below to learn about donation opportunities and feel free to contact us with any questions or donation inquiries.
The Symphony is a non-profit organization that relies entirely on ticket sales, donations from individuals and businesses, grants, and endowments. Your contributions will help us purchase new music and equipment, compensate the conductor, recruited musicians, and soloists, as well as provide opportunities for local and area musicians to produce symphonic orchestra performances. All financial contributions to the Symphony are to be made through the Legacy Foundation of Winfield.
