Fundraising

We value music education and want to ensure that no musician declines a position because of finances. Fundraising is an important element of financial stewardship. CSYSA Students may fundraise continuously throughout their tenure at CSYSA to fund travel and tuition.

• Adams & Sons: Get your oil changed at Adam & Sons or have your car repaired, and they will donate in your name to your travel account.

• Program Ads: Every year we publish advertisements for local businesses in our programs. Most of these ads are sold to local companies by musicians. For every ad sold, musicians earn at least 50% of the ad price for their accounts. A copy of the Program Ad Request form can be found on the Parent page of our website or picked up in the CSYSA office.

• Travel Fundraiser: Our optional travel fundraiser this year will occur throughout the season. All funds raised through this fundraiser will be credited to student travel accounts. These orders can earn a lot of money for our families. Details about this fundraiser will be announced later in the season. All fundraising for travel accounts is non-refundable.

• King Soopers Community Rewards: King Soopers and City Market Grocery Stores will contribute 5% of your grocery purchases made with your loyalty card to the CSYSA. To participate, you must create an online account at www.kingsoopers.com and enroll your loyalty card with our organization through that account. Once you register your loyalty card number with the CSYSA office, 5% of your grocery purchases will aid our organization in keeping tuition costs down and pursuing our mission. King Soopers cards can no longer credit student accounts.

Funds raised for student travel are carried over annually to support regional and international tours across multiple seasons. Students are encouraged to fundraise through CSYSA and independently. Donations for students are accepted but do not qualify for tax credits; they are applied to tuition, not tour accounts.  Per Colorado fundraising regulations, all funds raised are non-refundable and will be directed to a scholarship fund for those in need.
