SUPPORT

Every gift made to the Olathe Youth Symphony (OYS) has a positive impact on tour talented young musicians. Regardless of the size of the gift, your generosity helps support the development of our young members while they explore the endless possibilities music can bring to their lives. Student participation fees meet many of the expenses associated with the OYS program. However, as a non-profit organization, the OYS could not provide our young musicians with a rich musical experience without the generosity of our donors! Individuals, foundations, corporations and in-kind services support the OYS experience!

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT:

Over 250 young musicians audition for placement in one of our orchestras each year.
Any student that successfully auditions for membership in the program is accepted, regardless of ability to pay.
60 to 70 hours of instruction is provided for musicians each year.
Nearly all of our young musicians go on to higher education each year.

WHAT YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION SUPPORTS:

Scholarships to students with a financial need.
Specialty instruments, music, and equipment that benefits the students of our growing program.
Purchasing concert spaces, securing guest artists, and other expenses for special events.
Professional clinicians to provide an enriched musical experience for our young musicians.

Your generous donation in any amount is appreciated! The OYS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization so 100% of your financial gift is tax-deductible.

INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS

BUSINESS & ORGANIZATION DONATIONS

Individual donations make a difference! Tribute donations can also be made in honor of someone, such as for a special event (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.) or in memory of someone. For some of our individual donors, their employer will also match their gift, thereby doubling its impact!

**Check with your Human Resources department to see whether your employer offers a matching gift program.

BUSINESS & ORGANIZATION DONATIONS

Business and organization donations support the mission of the OYS too! Our business and organization donors help demonstrate the impact our community can have on the OYS.
