Support Cazadero Performing Arts Camp!
At Cazadero, our success is made possible by the support we receive from our community. Close to 30% of our funding comes from individual donors, businesses, and foundations– each of whom share a common belief in the value of Caz to inspire and enrich young people’s lives. We are grateful for their generous support, and strive to be good stewards. We work hard to keep administrative costs down, and make the most of every dollar received. As a result, 84 cents out of every dollar goes directly into the delivery of an outstanding music camp program, now serving over 1300 youth each year! By supporting Cazadero, you will be making a real difference in the lives of the amazing youth we serve! Please take a moment to review the donation options listed below, or contact our Development Director, Heather Thomson, at (510) 527-7500, or heather@cazadero.org for more information.

Support Our Scholarship Fund
We take great pride in our scholarship program, which makes our camp accessible to all aspiring young musicians, regardless of their financial circumstances. In fact, one in four of our students take part at Cazadero with the help of financial aid. Last year we granted over $88,000 in scholarship awards, more than in any previous year! Help us continue to bring this outstanding program to youth with financial need by donating to our Scholarship Fund.

Buy a Cazadero Legacy Bench
Our Caz Legacy Benches grace our beautiful camp amphitheater. Built to last, these custom-made redwood benches include a brass plaque with personalized inscription, seat six people, and offer you a chance to leave a legacy for generations to come. The $1500 donation is fully tax-deductible. Click here to download the Bench Donation Form, or contact us to learn more.

Support Our Roof Campaign
Our fundraising campaign to pay off our stunning new amphitheater roof is underway – we’ve raised $110,000 so far, and have about $90,000 left to go. Contributions of $1000 or more will be recognized with a special permanent donor plaque that will be installed at the amphitheater. Contact us to learn more about how you can help play an important role in this effort.

Donate Stock
You or your company can donate stock, stock options and other investments to Cazadero Performing Arts Camp in one simple transaction. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. You may benefit by avoiding capital gains taxes and reducing income taxes, while Cazadero Performing Arts Camp gains property will generate funds to support our program.  For more information, contact us. 

Vehicle Donations
Donate your vehicle, get a tax deduction, and support of Cazadero! It is quick and easy to donate a car, boat, RV, or other vehicle, usually requiring just a single call. You get a tax deductible receipt for market value of the vehicle. Contact the Center for Car Donations at 1-877-411-3662, toll free, or click here!

Planned Gifts
Leave a legacy by supporting Cazadero through your own estate planning. Examples include Bequests (through a will or living trust, or through retirement plans, insurance policies, etc.), or gifts that generate income during your lifetime, while offering income tax deductions or reductions in capital gains taxes, including Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, and more. For more information, contact us! Our goal is to build our Endowment from its current level of $100,000 to our goal of $3 million, so that will be capable of generating a minimum of 10% of our annual budget through Endowment interest each year.
