Our Patrons
Philanthropic partnerships come in all shapes and sizes.
Whatever the shape or size, you are helping WASO make a difference and we thank you for your support. WASO’s philanthropy program continues to grow, supporting our vision now and into the future. It is an exciting time be a part of this community, to meet our musicians and to know you have helped your Orchestra to touch souls and enrich lives through music. Together we can do amazing things. All donations over $2 are fully tax deductible.
