What your donation makes possible:

  • Provides arts education to local youths, and at no cost for families able to afford it.
  • Musical instruments loaned for free to low income families so their children are able to participate in school music programs
  • Concerts right here in Claremont by renowned local, national, and international musicians
  • Community arts and music programs for all

 

The arts are a vital part of a thriving community, and now is the time to invest. Next year is the 250th year for Claremont, and we have many exciting programs in the works with some of your favorite past performers and educators, but we need your support to keep our programs running.

We are most in need of financial support, but we’ve also seen a greater need this year for musical instruments (especially band instruments in working condition).

Donate Online:


 

Checks: make out to “WCCMA” or “Union Church – WCCMA” (our fiscal sponsor). All donations are tax deductible thanks to the financial oversight of Union Church.

Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for all the ways that you support WCCMA.

Sincerely,

Melissa Richmond
Executive Director
