Your Business in Harmony with the Wilmington Symphony

Consider including the Wilmington Symphony as a part of your marketing plans! Business owners, corporate sponsors and individuals who understand the harmony between the arts and a growing economy are invited to harmonize with the Wilmington Symphony through the "cause-related marketing" opportunities that sponsorships and underwriting provide.

Wilmington Symphony sponsorships and underwriting are an investment in one of southeastern North Carolina's local cultural jewels and a means by which your company's brand is linked in the hearts and minds of Wilmington Symphony patrons and the greater community with helping improve the quality of life in the region.

Our Wilmington Symphony is unique and local, and that same uniqueness is reflected in those companies and businesses that find our demographics to be thoughtful, value-oriented, highly mobile and, most importantly, extremely loyal.

A variety of benefits are associated with each level of sponsorship or underwriting support, and the Wilmington Symphony will work to create a customized array of benefits to meet your organization's needs so that you will genuinely benefit from associating with our patrons. The levels and opportunities below reflect a minimum you can expect from you sponsorship or underwriting investment.

For accounting purposes, sponsorship and underwriting payments can also be spread over two calendar years between July 1st and through June 30th of the following year.

The Wilmington Symphony will also work to create additional sponsorship and underwriting options tailored to your business's needs.

To arrange a sponsorship, contact Wilmington Symphony Executive Director Reed Wallace at 791-9262 or info@wilmingtonsymphony.org.
