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 help 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. 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 supporters help us share inspiring music with our community, increasing the quality of life in the Twin Cities and beyond both through the music we share and through the economic impact we have on our community. Through this partnership, the SPCO offers a comprehensive sponsorship and recognition package that best supports each organization’s goals for community relations, client and employee engagement, and brand visibility.

If you would like to learn more about how your company can become a sponsor, contact Sadie Lipetzky, Grants and Institutional Support Manager, at [email protected] for more information.
