NYO CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
 

“I am extremely proud that we are partnering the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. I have been personally inspired by the extraordinary talent of the young musicians and the way in which the NYO supports them to become our nation’s future experts in music.” (Amanda MacKenzie, former Director of Brand Marketing, British Gas)

Each year the NYO must raise around £1.2 million in order to fund its core Orchestral and Education & Outreach programmes. This funding is essential in order for the NYO to remain a unique bedrock of cultural opportunity for talented young musicians from around the UK. Corporate sponsorship, in-kind support and corporate charitable donations are key sources of revenue for the Orchestra. Through a partnership with the NYO companies are associating themselves with youth, education, talent and the pursuit of excellence.

Corporate sponsorship
The NYO is keen to engage with corporate sponsors in partnerships which address their long-term business objectives, enhancing the company's profile or social responsibility agenda, whilst providing valuable funding for the Orchestra’s future. As a high-profile UK-wide organisation engaging in a broad spread of musical activity, the NYO can offer many branding and publicity benefits to sponsors.

The Orchestra is proud to reach an audience of 1.4 million through
television and radio broadcasts, audiences of up to 3,000 per concert, 6,000
newsletter recipients and countless readers of its wide newspaper coverage.
In addition, the varied Education & Outreach programme seeks to connect with
and inspire primary and secondary school children and educationalists from
all over the UK.

Thanks to its concerts itinerary performing under the finest international conductors in the major venues around the UK, the NYO is also able to provide top-rate hospitality benefits to sponsors and is eager to involve employees and community partners in its concerts and activities.

Corporate donations

Donations are an important source of income for the NYO, which is a registered charity, priding itself on its role as an accessible educational organisation. The Orchestra is pleased to maintain long-term and close associations with its corporate donors.

Tax-efficient support is an incentive for corporate donors and sponsors to support the NYO, thanks to Inland Revenue rules, under which the value of giving to charity has increased hugely compared with other business costs. Companies may be eligible to deduct donations from corporation tax computations as a charge, effectively increasing the value of their gift by up to 30%. Companies may also get corporation tax and capital gains relief for gifts of shares, certain securities and investments to the NYO. Sponsorship payments may also qualify for tax relief, with payments being deducted from trading profits for corporation tax purposes.
