Endowment Fund

Endowment funds are intended to be kept permanently and invested to provide income for continued support of an organization. It is the most valuable funding non-profit institutions have, as endowment funds keep growing and giving, year after year.

With your support through endowment funds, you set the stage at Ordway for future generations to come. Your gift to the endowment fund will allow Ordway Center for the Performing Arts to:

  • Maintain the elegance and superior acoustics of this world-class venue;
  • Remain a home to the Resident Arts Organizations, The Minnesota Opera, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and The Schubert Club;
  • Create opportunities to grow artistically by providing access to the finest artists in the world;
  • Maintain and expand our critically-acclaimed Education at Ordway program, which has made Ordway the #1 cultural destination for Saint Paul and Minneapolis public schools since 1997.

Ordway's goal is to raise $30 million in Endowment funds. To join Ordway's Endowment Campaign, please contact Lee Koch, VP of External Relations, at 651-282-3034 or lkoch@ordway.org.
