Opera Columbus values every contribution and strives each day to be fully intentional in how each contribution is used. OC receives contributed support from a variety of sources, including public agencies, corporations, private foundations, special events and individuals. Of these, support from individuals makes up the largest portion of our annual contributed income and helps strengthen our community.
