The Saint Louis Symphony Endowment Trust is a single-purpose fund that exists to provide long-term financial support to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. All recorded grants are large, institution-level awards aimed at sustaining the orchestra’s operations and institutional stability in Saint Louis. The foundation’s giving is focused on preserving a major regional performing arts organization rather than funding a diversified set of causes.
Highly concentrated: virtually all giving goes to a single grantee through large, multi-year or unrestricted operational grants intended to sustain the orchestra’s core activities.
