Ongoing Donations

Music Studio donations are FAR BELOW what we have received in prior years, so we need your help!!

We are still accepting donations for the 2021-2022 school year. (LaGuardia PA Music Studio is a 501(c)(3) organization). As noted at our last meeting, we are well behind last years donation numbers. If you are able, the Music Studio would greatly appreciate your donation.

If making a one time donation isn't feasible, you can set up a recurring monthly donation to the Music Studio (and the PA) through PayPal. To do so, click the Direct Donation link below or follow these instructions:

Log into your MTK account, click on Ways to Give under the Donate & Volunteer drop-down menu, then on the underlined red link Donate to a specific studio (2 places on the page allow you to do that). The PayPal page that appears is auto-filled to make a donation to the General PA, but you can designate the Music Studio by clicking on the drop-down menu. Below that box is the option to make your donation a monthly-recurring one. Or, by leaving that box unchecked, the donation will be a one-time donation. 

You can select any amount you like to donate; all contributions gratefully received! 

Direct Donation

Help Keep LaGuardia Great!

As the new year begins, new opportunities for volunteers arise. Become a volunteer today to support our students and staff all year long, not just at performances. Please make sure you have filled out your volunteer questionnaire on your Membership Toolkit profile.
