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.
- Expanded our Reach: This year saw our return to pre-pandemic attendance numbers. We had 678 young musicians at our summer camp and 765 local youth in our JumpStart in Music programs.
- Adapted to Challenges: Despite COVID surges and staffing challenges, we ensured the safety of our campers and staff, allowing young musicians to attend Caz programs and flourish.
- Record Scholarship: This year Caz was able to award over $130,000 in scholarships thus breaking through financial barriers faced by some young musicians. This is thanks to the generosity of friends like you!
Your Contributions in Action:
This note, sent by the parent of a 2023 scholarship recipient, exemplifies the impact of your support:
“This was a transformative experience for Josh and one that gave him a lot more confidence. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity as without that award it would not have been possible…Josh has since applied for and gotten a place in the SF Jazz All Stars band and I am sure that the extra support that he got at Caz helped secure that place for him.”
What we hope to achieve this year and how a donation from you would help!
- Making camp accessible to all: Your donation could provide financial assistance to young musicians who would not otherwise have the means to attend.
- Music education: Enable us to continue to provide high-quality music education by attracting exceptional staff, conductors, and guest artists to camp.
- Facility improvements: Help us realize our vision to create a comfortable and inspiring environment for our campers.
We look forward to another year of community, growth, and beautiful music. Consider making a donation today. Here’s how!
