Our Four Fundraising Pillars
The NZSO is focused on securing funding to support the core areas of our work. We are reliant on the good will of our philanthropic community to strengthen the reach and output of the orchestra.
Concerts and Touring
Our greatest area of need. Make a gift to help underpin the world-class concerts that you see and hear each season in concert halls around the country – including digital streaming of artistic projects.
Professional Development
Assists the next generation of artists
