Annual philanthropic support from the business community makes a significant impact, enhancing our community’s quality of life through music and contributing to Columbus’ appeal as a desirable place to live, work, and raise a family.
Businesses supporting the Columbus Symphony are making an investment in our community, generating the cultural and commercial dividends that drive the growth of our region.
Sponsorships signify a vital alliance between businesses and the arts, offering highly visible recognition, engagement in events attended by multi-generational audiences, and networking opportunities for sponsors
Custom corporate sponsorships, ranging from single-event to season-long packages, are available, providing meaningful and measurable benefits across marketing, advertising, and public relations.


Foundation and government support play a crucial role in sustaining the Columbus Symphony. With ticket sales and other earned income covering only a fraction of the CSO’s operating costs, these funders bridge the gap. Grants can offer general operating support or be directed toward a specific program or project, ensuring the Symphony’s continued vibrancy and impact.
With gratitude, the Columbus Symphony acknowledges all our government, corporate, and foundation supporters. This publication lists names of donors who made gifts and pledges of $1,000 or more from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026.
