Your gift is put to use where it is needed most, whether it is bridging the gap in state and local funding or providing new investment in OSA's unique public arts education.
Do you accept Matching Gifts?
Yes! Many companies match employee contributions and you may be able to double, or even triple, your donation to OSA. To learn more, please click the Double the Donation widget on www.oakarts.org/donate
Can I donate to OSA with a gift of stock?
Yes! Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, OSA gets to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes - it’s a win-win for you and us! By clicking here https://donatestock.com/oakland-school-for-the-arts, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in a transaction that will take approximately 5 minutes.
What if I can’t afford to make a large gift?
A gift of any size helps OSA serve our students. Widespread support of the school by families whose children attend the school inspires those outside the school community to give. Each year, we strive for 100% participation in the Annual Fund by our families.
Are there other ways I can contribute?
Yes. Other opportunities to support OSA include:
Event Sponsorship
Do you own a business? Or work at a local company with an interest in community partnership? We are always looking to expand our network of supporters. Contact advancement@oakarts.org with questions.
Performances
OSA students work extremely hard each year to create and participate in exceptional performances and exhibitions in their art emphasis. Parent and community support via attendance to these events is highly encouraged!
Volunteer
Whether it’s helping hang student artwork for an exhibition, taking tickets at the door, helping to stuff envelopes for a large mailing, OSA greatly appreciates our volunteers and their efforts! Join our volunteer team!
