Funding Our Future

 

WE REACHED OUR GOAL!

On behalf of all of us at The Venice Symphony, THANK YOU to everyone who donated to the Funding Our Future Matching Gift Challenge. Because of your generosity and commitment to symphonic music and education, we reached our goal of $150,000 to be matched dollar-for-dollar by two anonymous symphony patrons.  The following Symphony supporters, plus 114 donors who requested their donation not be publicized, contributed to the success of this campaign.
