Music Matters. Give Today!

Your charitable contributions allow us to provide the highest quality of teaching to all our students, including tuition assistance for low-income families and our beginning strings program for students who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to play music. We also have planned giving options available.

Thank you for your support!

Why Music Matters at MYS

Ask about matching gifts! Some employers have a matching gift program where they will match a portion of your gift with a donation of their own. Intel, for example, will match 100% of your gift. Contact your human resources department to see if your employer has a matching gift program that you can donate through.

Metropolitan Youth Symphony is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, ensuring that your donation is tax deductible. To make a non-cash donation, contact us.
