Donate
Financial contributions to the AVPA Foundation from parents, alumni families and community members are a critical part of the funding for this outstanding arts education program.
The contribution requested from each AVPA student’s family is $200 per year ($100 per semester). In reality, the AVPA Foundation needs to raise $500 per student per year on average. Your additional contribution is used to pay for workshops by guest artists, enrichment activities and field trips, transportation, production expenses, and supplies and materials. All students are accepted into AVPA, regardless of any family’s ability to donate.
As a special thank-you, families who donate $300 will receive a 50x60" fleece blanket with the AVPA logo and one Premiere Pass, which includes one ticket to each of the following: the Fall Play, the Fall & Spring Dance concerts, the Spring Musical, and the Jazz Festival. For those able to contribute $500, you will receive the blanket and an AVPA-logoed zip-up hoodie–and two Premiere Passes. Donations should be received by November 1, 2024 to ensure the items are delivered ahead of the holiday season and to maximize the benefits of the Premiere Pass.
The AVPA Foundation is a Section 501(c)3 nonprofit and your gift may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor or the IRS to determine whether a contribution is deductible. The AVPA Foundation Tax ID number is: 20-3270837.
