Monthly Giving

Support the Rockford Symphony Orchestra throughout the entire year. Enrolling as a Monthly Donor makes supporting the RSO easier than ever! And during a time when the RSO does not have income from ticket sales and special events, the RSO has the peace of mind that your gift will arrive every month.

It’s easy to become a monthly donor. First, decide how much you would like to contribute monthly. (A minimum gift of $5 is required.) Then select the payment method that works best for you:

  1. (Recommended*) Electronic funds transfer (EFT) from your banking account – click here to complete the enrollment form.

  2. Credit or debit card payment – click here to set up your payment right away.

  3. Set up a monthly payment directly with your bank – initiate at your convenience through your bank’s website.

    *Selecting the EFT option allows the RSO to keep more of your gift by avoiding credit card processing fees.

Your contribution will be automatic each month with a record of each transaction appearing on your bank or credit card statement. As a Monthly Donor, you will enjoy season-long benefits at the donor level equal to your total annual giving. At the end of each calendar year, the RSO will send a statement of your annual giving. Total control of your gift remains with you; changes can be made at any time by calling the RSO at 815.965.0049.
