Educating and enriching our students’ lives through music could not happen without the generous support of our extended OYO family of supporters. At our core, we believe that music education and enrichment should be accessible to all therefore we endeavor to keep tuition affordable for families and, as well, offer need-based tuition assistance through SCORE.
Tuition covers approximately 60% of operating expenses. We rely on sponsors and donors to further support our orchestra program activities.
We invite you to join supporters, past and present, that have helped OYO become the premier music education program it is today!
If you would like to learn more about how OYO spends the resources that you donate, you may review our recent CDP –OaklandYouthOrchestras-Funders Report and 2021 Tax Return.
OYO is committed to data transparency and has earned the Platinum participation level through the GuideStar Exchange.
