The Gateway Festival Orchestra is a non-profit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. All donations are deductible as allowed by law.

Since the 1960s, a major source of funding for free public concerts in the United States and Canada has been the Music Performance Fund (MPF). This fund was set up through the recording industry at a time when business was booming. In recent years, disc sales have declined sharply. Therefore, MPF is able to offer only a small fraction of the help that was available in the past. Grant monies have also dwindled, so we are seeking new fund sources. We have some relatively new ways that individuals can help.
