Your support has always been the cornerstone of our success at Cazadero Music Camp! Each year close to 25% of our funding comes from our community—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 our community’s generous support and make the most of every dollar received. In fact 84 cents out of every dollar now goes directly into the delivery of our outstanding music programs, serving over 1,400 young musicians during a typical year!
As a 501(c)3 non-profit, your gift is tax-deductible as allowed by law, and we’ll promptly send a receipt.
Your gift to Caz makes a real difference.
Here’s a glimpse of what we achieved with the help of our donors this year.
- Providing Camp Experiences: We welcomed 650 young musicians to our summer camp and 648 local youth to our JumpStart in Music programs.
- Scholarships: This year Caz was able to award over $116,000 in scholarships thus breaking through financial barriers faced by some young musicians. This is thanks to the generosity of friends like you!
- Addressing urgent facility needs: Managing big projects with a small staff is challenging. This year we took on more than our fair share: creek erosion control, a new roof on the dining hall, electrical updates in the dining hall, structural work on the kitchen wall and floor, repairing roofs, decks and tent frames that sustained damage in storms, identifying and replacing rotten wood, surprise kitchen waste water issues, termite tenting, and more.
Your Contributions in Action:
“Thanks for all you do to make our world a better place through music! The accomplishments of kids at Cazadero every year give us hope for the future.” -2024 Camper Parent
“I cannot begin to express how much this camp has caused my love for music to flourish and the gift of many beautiful friendships this camp has kindly bestowed upon me has impacted my everyday life. Caz was undoubtedly my favorite camp I have ever attended and caused my very first sleepaway camp to be not a nightmare in the slightest, but rather a glorious, well-organized, exciting, and engaging dream! I am so grateful to be honored with the opportunity to explore this incredible experience, and I am even more thankful for the people who helped me get here, you! Again, I do not know how I can thank you enough for this, for I will carry this with me for the rest of my life.” -2024 Scholarship Recipient
What we hope to achieve this year and how a donation from you would help!
