Individual Giving
It feels good to give.
The May Festival has been going strong for over 150 years because of the generosity of our community. The Festival is why we have Music Hall and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Give today in any amount and join that legacy — one that endures and continues to do so much good.
