The Erie Philharmonic is a paramount institution in the Erie community thanks to its many dedicated supporters. The Legacy Society is a group of such individuals who have chosen to establish a legacy of their own by remembering the Philharmonic in their estate plans.
As the caretakers of the orchestra, now is the time for us to do our part to ensure future generations will have an orchestra to love and support.

Why an Endowment?
Because an endowment, held in perpetuity and invested and managed conservatively, augments the annual ticket sales, charitable contributions and corporate sponsorships that fuel our budget.
Without endowment, ticket prices would climb beyond the means of most concertgoers. It is an unchallenged truth that only a properly sized endowment stabilizes a good symphony.
Your pledge today puts the orchestra one step closer to permanent fiscal stability.
We want your name or your family name honored. We look forward to speaking with you about the endowment gift you want to make, so that the orchestra plays for all seasons.
Anonymity is always an option. Individual naming opportunities will recognize significant gifts.
