The symphony relies on community support in order to help sustain the artistic quality of our Orchestra and continue to bring in world-class guest artists to Las Cruces as well as recruiting an increasing number of strong music students. In addition to providing much-needed music scholarships to our students, the Orchestra has expanded its Educational Outreach programs and a Family Concert .

It takes individual contributions to continue the Orchestra's high-quality concerts and music education programs that serve the metropolitan area and surrounding rural communities. As you prepare your budget for this new fiscal year, we hope that you will consider the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra in your philanthropic giving.

Please consider being a sponsor for one of the concerts. The symphony needs sponsors for every concert. An individual or business corporation who donates $5,000 to the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra will receive the following benefits:

* Tax deduction since the Las Cruces Symphony is a nonprofit, publicly-supported charity
* Full-page ad across from the concert schedule in the program guide
* Printed acknowledgement in the Symphony newsletter and in the website
* Verbal acknowledgement and personal introduction at both concerts
* Invitation to Dress Rehearsal
* Hosted reception in your honor
* Dinner with Conductor Lonnie Klein and the Guest Artist

Thank you in advance for your gift.
