Supporters of YOSA help change kids’ lives through music. Donations from individuals, businesses, foundations, and other contributors ensure that YOSA music education services are equally accessible to all youth in San Antonio.

Other Ways to Give

Your Company and YOU

Some employers offer payroll deduction programs that allow employees to make recurring charitable contributions directly through their paycheck. Please contact your employer to learn whether this convenient giving option is available to you. In addition, some employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, allowing your gift to go even further. To maximize the impact of your support, ask your employer whether they offer a matching gift program.

Things can make a difference - In-Kind Donations

YOSA gratefully accepts a variety of in-kind contributions, including professional services, meals for musicians, silent auction items, musical instruments, and more. All in-kind gifts are acknowledged in accordance with IRS regulations.

Legacy Giving (Planned Giving)

One of the most meaningful ways to support YOSA’s future is by including YOSA in your estate plans. A legacy gift through your will or estate helps ensure that future generations of young musicians continue tothrive.
