San Francisco Opera Guild Year-End Giving

Donate today!

As we enter this time of giving, we are reminded how music connects us and invites authentic expression of self within the community. Today our youth are not only facing cuts to arts funding but also attempting to thrive in a culture that has become polarized, with little patience for true communication and discourse. To counter this trend that can be isolating and fearful, we turn to the arts: a discipline that allows us to find common ground, foster empathy, and inspire hope. In fact, music may be a vital lifeline for hundreds of students in underserved communities, where arts education is often out of reach. This holiday season, we invite you to make a difference in the lives of students through the transformative power of music.

For over 85 years, San Francisco Opera Guild has been committed to providing award-winning music education to K-12 students in the Greater Bay Area and Northern California, helping them develop skills that will serve them for a lifetime. These programs empower students to develop their individual worldviews, artistic expression, collaborative competency, and leadership potential. Reaching tens of thousands of students in over 500 classrooms each year, these programs are often life-changing for students who might otherwise never engage with the arts.

With a commitment to generous scholarship support, we ensure that no student or classroom is turned away due to financial constraints. Over 42% of our schools and students are able to participate in our programs because of our generous scholarship support. This giving season, we ask you to help us to continue this crucial work. Together, we can ensure the children of our community have the chance to find and express their voices in a safe space; to grow, learn, and thrive through the power of music. Please help us reach our fundraising goal of $100,000, so that we can ensure all schools have access to our programs, regardless of their funding situation.
