Ways to Give

Help us make arts education accessible to everyone on the South Shore.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit institution, we rely on your support to keep the arts alive through programs, partnerships and performances. Thank you for allowing us to share the gift of music and movement, to ensure that all of these opportunities are within reach. We are grateful for gifts of every size, as SSC relies on the generosity of our donors to support almost 40% of our annual budget.
