Development and Fundraising

Donors and institutional funders are essential to orchestras’ ability to carry out their missions. On this page, you’ll find information about funding from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as links to a number of recent webinars on fundraising in the current environment.

If you are a development professional, you can interact with your peers in online discussion forums through our League360 platform. The League also hosts meetings of development professionals at our National Conference and throughout the year. For access to League360 and the meetings, contact Member Services at member@americanorchestras.org to make sure you are listed as a development professional in our database.
