Alton Nonprofits and Charities

I feel like the CEO and secretary, I cannot say their names but pick and choose who they want to help and I feel like if you’re white, you will not get the help that you need. I feel like they are racist. I know someone that had her name on the list for rental help they never called her back, she left several messages over 30 messages for the secretary and did not receive any callbacks or any help. I don’t know, but I feel like like a place like that should be defunded. They shouldn’t be able to pick and choose. They want to give help too. It should be first come first serve, and who needs the most not the color of your skin or whether they like you or not.

These people spread hate and abuse. The founder hates women and these insane people continue to carry it on. <br>They don't care about America, only controlling women and children. They force children to have babies and celebrate it. They celebrate the abuse of women and girls. They are a hateful, scary group of men.

The Alton Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is a blessing for my local communities. It is not funded on the tax roles of the local communities, yet remains a premier symphony orchestra providing healthy entertainment for adults and children through concerts designed especially for them. While grants have been cut significantly and funding has become a struggle, the volunteer board and musicians work very hard to present live performances. I am inspired by their efforts to stay alive during these difficult financial times. ASO remain dedicated to preserving the traditions of this superior community orchestra. Despite financial hardships, ASO maintains its 67 years old traditions of mentoring to young artists, growing community involvement through participation in local celebrations, events and through its fine concert programing. We stay the goal of being the live music symphony orchestra gem, enhancing the quality for life in the Riverbend communities. We are proud to maintain the tradition of being a volunteer combined orchestra consisting of professional musicians as well as retired, student and young adult musicians. Our young artist scholarship program continues to be most notable with its keen competitions for money and the right to perform with the full court orchestra. ASO will perform "The Planets" on February 26, a symphony rarely performed by volunteer community orchestras such as the Alton Symphony Orchestra. I am personally touched by the tireless efforts of the musicians and volunteer board to do the best in spite of the lack of funding. Some members contribute their own personal resources to help this wonderful organization.
