Why your support matters to an arts education
There are multiple ways to contribute!
While CocoSPA receives state funding for school operations, your donations are crucial for maintaining and enhancing our strong arts education.
Here's why your support is so important:
- State funding primarily supports our academic programs
- Donations are a primary way of funding our robust arts education
- Your support helps us provide high-quality instruction in dance, theater, music, and production design
- Donations enable us to offer specialized equipment, materials, and experiences essential for arts education
- Your contributions help maintain small class sizes in our arts programs
- With your support, we can bring in guest artists and create unique learning opportunities
Your generous donations directly impact our students' educational experience, helping them develop their artistic skills and pursue their passions.
Support the Contra Costa School of Performing Arts (CocoSPA) by choosing one of the following donation methods, contributing to Ensemble Foundation, CocoSPA's parent community organization. Ensemble directly supports our school with these donation methods:
1. Back-to-School Fundraiser

This back-to-school effort sets an ambitious goal for the 2024-2025 school year, of $1 per day for a year, or $365, raised by each student participant. This fundraiser works by asking for donations from your broader community of family, friends, and fans of your student. Students can earn rewards by meeting participation goals too!
