It is supported by a board of directors and an extensive network of patrons. The orchestra collaborates with many musicians and provides a wide range of concert experiences. The ensemble has premiered works by young composers, presents a yearly Christmas concert with a one hundred voice choir,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.onlineathens.com/article/20111126/LIFESTYLE/311269979|title=Toccoa Symphony Orchestra holds annual Christmas concert|website=Athens Banner-Herald|language=en|access-date=2019-04-01|archive-date=April 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401132427/https://www.onlineathens.com/article/20111126/LIFESTYLE/311269979|url-status=live}}</ref> and incorporates budding performers from nearby Toccoa Falls College.
