Financial Support
The Omega Ensemble receives support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency.
Foundations that have supported Omega Ensemble include The Josephine Bay and C. Michael Paul Foundation, Inc. Other donors include the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the Culpepper Foundation, the Seth Sprague Charitable and Educational Foundation, the Florence Gould Foundation, the New York Times Foundation, the Stella and Charles Guttman Foundation, Inc. and the Friars Foundation.
Omega’s work depends on the generous contributions of our committed donors and from sales of tickets to the “cocktail series” concerts, the “Sea Cliff” series and from the “annual gala.” We are grateful for your past and continued support, without which the work of Omega could not continue.
