Ensemble Allegria has since 2016/17 been registered as a foundation in the The Norwegian Foundation Authority.

The board are alongside the managing director and producer responsible for carrying out the planned projects and running the orchestra. The managing director has a permanent office space at Sentralen in Øvre Slottsgate 3, which is owned and operated by the Sparebankstiftelsen.

The foundation has a decision-making body called the Council, which consists of all the orchestra's permanent musicians. The council has tasks such as election of the board, determination of board fees, and the right to speak in the election of the artistic director. This should help preserve democracy in the orchestra, and ensure that each individual member is heard and has influence even after the organizational change.

In 2019, an artistic council was established with four council members from the orchestra in addition to artistic director Maria Angelika Carlsen.
