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!
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.

~ Senior Scholarships: Annually, after OYS Board review, 2-3 scholarships are awarded to OYS seniors for their 1styear of college. Students must be majoring or minoring in some aspect of music or music education. The one-year scholarships are typically $500 - $1000 each.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
*Tribute donations: Made in honor (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.) or in memory of someone.

Want to sponsor the purchase of an OYS owned instrument? We are always looking to expand our percussion equipment. Give the gift of music!
OYS also accepts good quality instruments. If you have an instrument that you or your children are no longer use, please consider donating it. There is a young musician in our community who could use it.
*A letter acknowledging your gift will be sent to you for tax purposes.
Note: Instruments that cannot be used by the OYS will be donated to the Olathe District through the Olathe Public Schools Foundation which operates the Dr. B. Musical Instrument Fund.
Every gift made to OYS has a positive impact on Olathe's talented youth and the future of classical music. Whether you give ten dollars or ten thousand, you are supporting the development of a young person while they explore their infinite possibilities in music.
