Fundraising Initiatives

Annual Campaign

Coronado School for the Arts Foundation has an annual campaign that supports one-third of CoSA's operating costs. We ask each family to give what they can with the goal of $1,200 per family. We invite arts extended families, community members, and arts lovers to become Patrons of the Arts by supporting our annual campain.

Upcoming Fundraising Events

The CoSA Foundation holds an annual Gala and regular Patron of the Arts events to raise funding to support CoSA. See a listing of current events here.

Seat Naming Campaign

The Coronado School of the Arts Foundation invites you to become a perpetual part of the legacy of the Coronado High School Performing Arts Center. Name a seat or seats and a commemorative brass seat plaque will bear your inscription honoring a student, your family, a teacher, or a production. Your imagination is the limit!

The state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center on the campus of the high school is a long-awaited dream come true. Not only does it provide a premier performance space for every discipline at the high school and in the highly-regarded Coronado School of the Arts, it also offers the campus, school district, community and region a place to assemble and enjoy the arts in every variation.

Your tax deductible gift will help build an endowment that sustains the theatre as a quality, state-of-the art venue. All proceeds go toward the Performing Arts Center Equipment Fund Endowment.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Each family pays an annual $1,500 student fee to cover one-third of the student's education. Families with demonstrated need are awarded financial aid through the Foundation. Your tax-deductible gift of $1,500 will help go toward educating a student artist.
