Dr. Karl and Wilma Carson established the Wilfred Schwartz Conductor’s Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado in 1996 as a way to honor their dear friend Maestro Wilfred Schwartz. As longtime supporters of the Symphony, both Karl and Wilma served on its board of directors. In 2015, the Carson estate gave an additional $120,000 legacy gift to the fund, the largest single contribution in the history of the Fort Collins Symphony.
