About Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Foundation
This foundation is singularly focused on sustaining the local symphony: virtually all of its grant dollars fund the Indianapolis-based Indiana Symphony Society to support operations, venue/rent costs, education programs, and artistic activity. Its giving is highly mission-aligned and directed toward maintaining orchestral performance and related educational outreach in Indianapolis. The foundation appears to function as an institutional backer of the city’s primary professional orchestra rather than a broad arts funder.
