DISSO Endowment
The Lonnie Nofzinger Endowment supporting Dimensions in Sound & The Studio Orchestra is maintained by Madison Community Foundation and serves the long-term benefit of DISSO.
While the musicians in both Dimensions in Sound and The Studio Orchestra are volunteers, DISSO isn’t free to operate. Even at the start, the groups faced expenses, including music and arrangements for the pieces they performed. In the early years, Nofzinger, who passed away in 2005, shouldered most of DISSO’s expenses himself. Today, donations and grants — including one from Madison Community Foundation — help meet expenses.
DISSO also is supported by an endowment fund held at MCF. A generous donor recently established the fund.
