Endowment Fund
An endowment fund was created in the spring of 2001 with the purpose of providing a permanent source of funds for IGO. The primary purpose of these funds is to provide two scholarships to current IGO members which will cover their tuition the following year in the Orchestra. These scholarships are presented at the IGO annual Spring Pops & Pie concert.
To be eligible for these scholarships a member must have perfect attendance at rehearsals and concerts for the season, show respect for fellow members of IGO, and exhibit a sincere commitment to IGO and its purpose.
All donations to the endowment fund are tax deductible by law #36-3461006.
Scholarships are available for individuals who are not able to afford the annual tuition of $100.
