SOMAS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and does not receive funding from municipal or school budgets, relying almost exclusively on revenue generated by class fees and donor support. Charitable donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Donations at any level of giving are gratefully accepted; additionally, we now accept sustaining donations where you can choose to give regularly throughout the year. Your donation may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please contact your employer about their matching policy and consider a corporate match of your SOMAS donation today.
