Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra

The continuance of a symphonic orchestra is a costly enterprise. Long-term financial stability requires more than the traditional sources of funding—contributions, subscriptions, and grants. The IVSO Endowment Fund was started in 2000 to sustain the activities of the orchestra and allow for future planning. The IVSO invites you to consider a gift to the Endowment Fund. For information contact Joe Wolf, Endowment Fund Manager, at (815) 223-8808.
