Corporate, Foundation & Government Support

Private and Community Foundation Support

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is proud to have the support of many private and community foundations each year. These foundations play an important role in the Twin Cities by helping to secure the financial future of organizations like the SPCO that strive to make the arts accessible to more people and contribute to the cultural fabric that makes the Twin Cities a thriving place to live and work. We offer our sincerest thanks to our contributors for their ongoing commitment to the dynamic mission and distinctive artistry of the SPCO.

Government Support

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is grateful for decades of support from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the National Endowment for the Arts. These ongoing relationships provide essential operating and program support to the SPCO each year.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Project funding provided in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

In addition, the Saint Paul Cultural STAR program provides special project funding, allowing the SPCO to expand and enhance its work.
 

Corporate Support

Corporate support of the SPCO helps us to share our music with more than 250,000 people in the Twin Cities and beyond each year, increasing the artistic vibrancy and quality of life within our community. The SPCO works with its corporate partners to develop sponsorship and recognition opportunities that best support your company’s goals for community relations, client entertainment, employee engagement, and brand visibility. Please contact Becky Cline, Director of Development, at 651.292.3280 or [email protected] for more information.
