Endowment
The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus maintains two endowments. Donations can be made directly to an endowment by check or stock transfer. A donation can also be made by sending your check to the LJS&C office and designating the Endowment for which it is intended. For more information on donating to our endowment funds, please call 858-822-3774.
Main Operating Fund (non-restricted)
Established through a bequest by long-time chorus member Therese Hurst upon her death in 1985, the LJS&C's Main Operating Fund is its largest and is managed by a professional investment firm.
Permanent Endowment (restricted)
The LJS&C holds a restricted endowment with the San Diego Foundation that is maintained and managed by the Foundation.
Thomas Nee Commissioning Endowment (restricted)
Established in 1997 in honor of former music director Thomas Nee and his 30 years with LJS&C, an annual distribution is taken from this Endowment to pay for an original composition for orchestra or chorus and orchestra. Priority for awards is given to UCSD graduate students in music composition to support young composers.
