The WSM Annual Fund

The Westport School of Music relies on Annual Giving to support the people and programs that make our school such a special place. Dedicated faculty who nurture and challenge each student, chamber music concerts and special events, scholarships, and the maintenance of our pianos and new spaces are all made possible by your contributions to Annual Giving. Donations from generous contributors help WSM to:

  • Build strategic community partnerships : to showcase both our stellar faculty and our  student musicians by performing at other non-profit and social service organizations.

  • Provide multiple student performance opportunities : for family, friends and each other through our Kaleidoscopes, Student Chamber Concert, spring recitals and community outreach.

These would not be possible without support received through Annual Giving. The School relies on your gifts to make up the difference between tuition and what the actual costs are to operate the School and bring these initiatives to our community. 

In these most challenging times, we ask you to remember the life-long impact that music provides, by supporting the Westport School of Music. Any amount of support is deeply appreciated!

​Music School Donations

There are several ways to make a donation and your gift is tax deductible.

  • You may make a donation online through PayPal by clicking on the "Donate" button below. 

  • Checks may be made payable to Westport School of Music, 25 Sylvan Rd. South, Westport, CT 06880. Please mark your check “donation” or “scholarship fund”. 

  • By transferring stock or other securities to make a donation, rather than selling it, you can avoid paying some or all capital gains taxes and reduce your taxable income.

  • Planned giving, such as bequests through a will, charitable remainder trust, and other estate transfers, are an invaluable way to leave a lasting legacy while supporting the School into the future.
