About SALZBURG FESTIVAL SOCIETY INC

The Salzburg Festival Society, Inc. is a New York–based 501(c)(3) public charity that cultivates American support for the Salzburg Festival (Salzburger Festspiele) in Austria through memberships, fundraising events, and grantmaking. The Society operates as a donor-facing organization that provides members with Festival-related benefits, special events in New York, and channels contributions to Festival programs and artists.

The organization maintains an active program of annual galas, newsletters, and member benefits and files regular IRS Form 990 returns; leadership and a board of directors composed of U.S. patrons and Festival supporters oversee operations. Recent public materials and tax filings (most recent fiscal data filed for calendar-year reporting) show sustained fundraising and grant activity in 2022–2024 and ongoing event activity in New York (fall galas and member events).
