$1 million goal surpassed – on to a new goal
The Symphony Foundation’s $1,000,000 campaign goal was exceeded in 2018! Now the endowment fund generates an annual payout to the Orchestra of about $40,000. As the Foundation makes progress toward its new goal of $5,000,000, the payout will grow towards $200,000 annually – a vital supplement for the Orchestra’s budget.

Over time, legacy gifts from thoughtful music lovers like you will be essential in achieving our mutual goal to support the GJ Symphony Orchestra. To assist in this endeavor, the Grand Junction Symphony Foundation (GJSF) is pleased to announce that the Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) now serves as our endowment partner.
