Sponsors & Donations

The board of directors of North Sound Youth Symphony would like to invite private and corporate donations to support our local young musicians.

By making a donation to NSYS you will be supporting a 501c3 public charity that is administered and managed through the volunteer efforts of parents and community members. Our primary budgetary priorities are the salaries for our conductors, instrument coaches, sheet music purchasing, facility rental and stipends for Western Washington University Music Department interns who assist the conductors. NSYS also offers and regularly provides scholarships for students whose families are not able to afford tuition costs.

Your generous contribution will assist NSYS in maintaining the current quality of instruction, music programs, and scholarships and will help us look forward to responsible expansion of programs, community outreach and recruitment of students. In the future we hope to provide additional programs for young local musicians including individual and group music competitions and a NSYS choral program.
