Operating expenses are offset predominantly by tuition, and while remaining very competitive with other youth orchestras in the area, additional funding is critical if we are to attract outstanding educators and support staff.  Members of our current staff of professional and talented music educators have dedicated themselves to supporting PYPO’s mission of fostering a lifelong love of music.  Staff members often forego more lucrative earnings at their own studios to share their knowledge and love of music with our students.  They are generous with their time because of their deep belief in our program, as well as in the power of music education.  However, we strive to provide our staff with appropriate compensation so as to maintain them and attract additional talent to support our growing program. 

​

The above challenges and goals represent our most urgent areas of concern, however, we have many other donation opportunities that may be of interest as presented in our levels of gift sponsorship.  Your generous contributions are tax deductible and every dollar of every donation will be used judiciously to ensure that music thrives and prospers.
