🎵 How You Can Help

Keeping the music going takes all of us. Our musicians give their time, talent, and love of music — and your financial support ensures we can present full‑season concerts and expand our educational outreach.

Because so many players volunteer their time and professional skills (marketing, accounting, and more), NPOI proudly operates a full‑size symphony orchestra on a remarkably lean annual budget of under $80,000. Every contribution helps sustain this work.


🌱 1. Grants That Sustain Our Mission

Each year, generous grants from the Irving Arts Board, City of Irving, and the Texas Commission on the Arts help cover essential operating expenses. In some years, The Dallas Foundation and Communities Foundation of Texas support special projects that strengthen our programs.

Our First Tickets program — introducing 6th–8th grade orchestra students to their first live symphony experience — has been funded since 2018 by the Granville C. and Gladys H. Morton Fund of the Communities Foundation of Texas.

We couldn’t do this work without these grantors.

💙 2. Individual Donations — A Major Source of Support

A significant portion of our annual budget comes from individual donors, especially during North Texas Giving Day each September. On that day, your gift goes even further thanks to bonus funds from area foundations.

You can schedule your gift in advance or donate on the day itself: North Texas Giving Day

📘 3. Advertise in Our Season Program

Businesses, colleges, and professionals can support NPOI by purchasing ads in our colorful season program books:

  • Full page: $350
  • Half page: $200
  • Quarter page: $150
  • Cover placements available at premium rates

Reserve your space in June or July, and submit your copy or camera‑ready artwork by August 1.

Contact our program team here.

These 44‑page program books are keepsakes filled with program notes, season repertoire, guest artist features, and photos from our educational and community programs. Your ad helps cover the cost of producing these beautiful publications.

🎁 4. Shop Our Silent Auction & Holiday Market

Each October and December, our semi‑annual fundraising events bring in more than $5,000 to support our season and school outreach.

The silent auction opens at 2:30 p.m. in the Irving Arts Center’s Carpenter Hall lobby, followed by the concert at 3:30 p.m.

You’ll find hundreds of gift certificates and experiences from restaurants, museums, theaters, symphonies, ballet companies, choral groups, skating rinks, climbing gyms, and more — plus raffle baskets and original art.

Bidding starts at 50% of value, with some items opening as low as 30%. It’s a win‑win: great deals for supporters and vital funding for NPOI.

🌟 5. Give to the Tomorrow Fund — Our Permanent Endowment

The Tomorrow Fund, held at The Dallas Foundation, is NPOI’s long‑term foundation for stability. Since 2011, it has grown to more than $73,000 — over a full year of operating support.

Endowment gifts ensure that “Sundays at the Symphony” will continue for generations. Earnings from the fund help cover special needs and operating expenses each year.

You may contribute now or include NPOI in your estate plans. Treasurer Larry Horner, C.P.A. can assist with bequest language and gift options here.

Gifts may be made in memory of loved ones and will be recognized annually.
