Endowment
A strong endowment is a necessity, not a luxury. The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association's Endowment Fund provides critical annual income that supports all aspects of the orchestra's activities: performances, learning initiatives, and recruiting the best musicians. Friends of the LA Phil who make endowment gifts help ensure the long-term health of this institution.
Endowment donors have the satisfaction of knowing that, through their gift, they are leaving a legacy that provides the art of music for future generations. Only the income from endowment gifts will be allocated annually where the organizational need is the greatest, leaving the principal intact.
Endowment Recognition
Endowment gifts of $25,000 and above are recognized in LA Phil publications. Gifts of $100,000-$999,999 are additionally recognized outdoors in the Walt Disney Concert Hall Garden. Gifts of $1 million or higher are recognized inside Walt Disney Concert Hall on the Endowment Wall near the Founders Room.
Endow a Chair in the Orchestra
A gift supporting the LA Phil's Endowment Fund to name an orchestra chair ensures the orchestra’s vitality not just today, but for generations to come by helping to build a stable, permanent source of financial support for the LA Phil. Donors who make gifts to endow an orchestra chair provide a financial underpinning that will bolster the LA Phil regardless of recession, rising costs, or economic instability. To learn more about how you can contribute to the LA Phil’s legacy, and create a legacy of your own, by endowing an orchestra chair, please email Legacy@laphil.org.
