Elevate Oakland Giving Season 2023

Elevate Oakland invites you to celebrate Giving Season with us by making a donation in support of our music and arts programs serving Oakland youth. We need your help in reaching our goal raise $20,000 in order to grow our impact through our programs serving OUSD schools and to continue to strengthen existing programs with our current school partners.

Our students need your support. This year, Elevate Oakland invites you to invest right here in your own communities and in the futures of our young people by making a contribution in support of our music and arts programs serving public school students, educators and local artists here in Oakland and beyond.

Here are a few specific ways funds raised through your generosity will make an impact in the near future:

• Supporting the relaunch of our teaching artist program at McClymonds High School
• Helping us place new teaching artists to support the instrumental music program at Castlemont High School
• Supporting professional development opportunities for our 10+ dedicated teaching artists
• Providing supplies to help us build Mr. D's music production class at Elmhurst United Middle School
• Funding enrichment activities for students participating in our programs across 8+ school sites, including field trips, visiting artist performances & more
• Helping us grow our team! We are a small but mighty crew of dedicated folks who are looking to expand our team in 2024 in order to support our rapidly growing programs across the school district.
