Ways to Give
OSA provides a tuition-free, exemplary arts education to nearly 800 Bay Area students. We cannot do this without the generosity of our families and community partners. Your gift is put to use where it is needed most, whether it is bridging the gap in state and local funding or providing investment in OSA's unique public arts education. Your tax-deductible gift will support:
-
- Our stellar arts faculty, all of whom are working artists, who provide two to three hours of daily immersive arts education on behalf of our students
- OSA's robust performance calendar, visual arts shows, and literary arts events
- Arts education opportunities for students who may never have had access to the arts
Every student at OSA has their own metamorphosis story – with the support of OSA’s stellar faculty, their dynamic peers, and donors like you – they can grow into the fullness of their self expression.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will my donation make a difference?
Your gift is put to use where it is needed most, whether it is bridging the gap in state and local funding or providing new investment in OSA's unique public arts education.
Do you accept Matching Gifts?
Yes! Many companies match employee contributions and you may be able to double, or even triple, your donation to OSA. Click here to see if your company offers a Matching Gifts program.
What if I can’t afford to make a large gift?
A gift of any size helps OSA serve our students. Widespread support of the school by families whose children attend the school inspires those outside the school community to give. Each year, we strive for 100% participation in the Annual Fund by our families.
