Orchestra Endowment
The Orchestra Chair program began in 2004.

For more information about sponsoring an orchestra chair, contact Richard Suggs.
SMBC Foundation Funds are invested through the North Carolina Baptist Foundation, Inc. A nine-person board of trustees composed of Snyder members oversees the funds and decides how proceeds will be distributed.
