About The Toronto Symphony

Overview

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) provides distinctive performances of both new and established orchestral music to internationally recognized standards and engages with communities in the Greater Toronto Area through performances, education programs, and partnerships. Due to public health restrictions introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSO's regularly-scheduled events from mid-March onwards were cancelled. As a result, the Symphony introduced a number of digital programs, as described in 'New Programs' below. Before the COVID-19 cancellations, the TSO had performed 87 concerts with a total attendance of just over 160,000 during its 2019/20 season.

Mission

To shape and celebrate Canadian culture through musical excellence and connection, engaging and enriching local and national communities through vibrant musical experiences while serving as a group of artists, teachers, and advocates who share the belief that music has the power to heal, inspire, and connect people from all walks of life.

Vision

Musical excellence, community engagement, diversity and inclusion, accessibility, artistic innovation, cultural celebration, and fostering connection through the transformative power of music.

Unique Value Proposition

As Canada's flagship orchestra with over a century of history, the TSO uniquely combines internationally recognized musical excellence with deep community roots, offering everything from world-class performances at Roy Thomson Hall to innovative digital programming and education initiatives including the tuition-free Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
