Support the Symphony

Corporate Giving

You want your business to be a good corporate citizen. At the same time, you need to invest wisely, making certain your marketing dollars generate a strong return. Becoming a Corporate Partner, Corporate Sponsor or Corporate Underwriter with Seattle Symphony accomplishes both objectives. It’s a marketing investment you can truly feel good about.

When your firm supports Seattle Symphony, you are helping enrich the quality of life for the entire community. Corporate support of this exceptional orchestra helps make possible Seattle Symphony’s outreach into neighborhood schools, our special programs for families, our subsidized ticket programs for underserved students. Corporate Partnership helps sustain one of Seattle’s greatest community treasures.

What’s more, Seattle Symphony Corporate Partnership is also a sound marketing investment, because our patrons are your best prospects. A 2008 survey conducted by GMA Research showed that:

  • Nearly half of Seattle Symphony subscribers report household incomes over $100,000
  • Nearly 90% are homeowners, with an average home value over $800,000
  • 60% are between the ages of 35 and 64; about one-third are 65 and older
  • More than half of all subscribers hold post-graduate degrees
  • About half dine out for dinner (seated restaurants, not fast food!) four times or more each month, a good indicator of discretionary spending power.

Corporate Partnership places your business in direct contact with thousands of upscale patrons. Your business is directly linked with the orchestra they care about — and you’ll be reaching most of them inside a venue they love, our magnificent Benaroya Hall. The promotional options are varied indeed:

  • Set up a booth or display to interact directly with new clients
  • Entertain new prospects or existing clients
  • Reward employees and build company spirit
  • Promote your corporate citizenship
  • Network with your peers.
