Why nonprofits book here
Your members' dollars should go to the mission, not the room
WYSO Center is owned and run by Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras, a nonprofit. We built the building for our own concerts and rehearsals, and we rent it to other mission-driven organizations at rates a nonprofit budget can carry. Every rental supports youth music education in Wisconsin.
Stage, sound and screen included
Halls come with a projector, screen, microphones and sound system in the rate. Add a sound technician for $50 an hour if you'd like someone to run it.
A lobby for the reception
Mingle before the meeting, celebrate after. Kitchen access for your caterer is $50 an hour; there is no catering minimum.
Free parking for every member
A lot east of the building, no ramp, no validation. Five minutes from the Capitol and the near east side.
Rooms

Good to know
Common questions from nonprofit planners
Do you offer a nonprofit rate?
Yes, on every room. Tell us you're a 501(c)(3) when you request a quote and we'll apply it.
Can we hold a fundraiser or awards dinner, not just a business meeting?
Yes. Rounds, a stage ($50 per tier), tablecloths ($10 each) and a sound technician are all available as add-ons, and your caterer can use the kitchen.
Can the meeting be hybrid for members who can't attend?
Yes. Bring a laptop and camera and we'll put the remote members on the big screen; a sound technician can feed clean audio to the call. See hybrid meeting space.
Is there accessible parking and entry?
Yes. Accessible spaces are in the lot by the entrance and the building is step-free throughout. See parking and directions.
