Why give?

RLO needs your help.  Like other regional  opera companies in the United States, our  ticket sales make up one-third of our total budget.

Gifts, private donations and corporate sponsorship must make up the difference. Our ability to stay in the black and our ongoing presence depend a great deal upon your generosity. 

RLO is a 501 (c) 3 non profit arts organization dedicated to bringing live performances and community and education arts programs to all in Riverside and the Inland Empire.  

RLO would not exist without your generous support . Thank you!

Types of Donations

•  Individual

• Corporate

• Foundations

All individual contributions make a difference! Large or small your generosity will allow us to continue to provide opera at the highest artistic levels in our community as well as providing exciting educational programs in our community.
