Learn how to donate.

By donating to the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, you play a vital role in preserving the vibrant soundtrack of Northeast Ohio. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Pops relies on the generosity of the community to bring world-class symphonic performances to iconic venues like Severance Music Center and Playhouse Square. Beyond the stage, your contributions directly fund transformative education and outreach initiatives, such as the “Actual Music” program for young students and the Cleveland Pops Youth Orchestra, which nurtures the next generation of local talent. Whether you choose to join a giving society, sponsor a specific musician’s chair, or provide a one-time gift, your support ensures that the magic of popular music remains accessible and inspiring for all.
