Ways to Give

Even a well-resourced school district can do with some extra help. Any extra support you can provide our students is very much appreciated. That can include contributing to our bake sales, helping out at events and chaperroning students on field trips.

General Aid

Coaching Hours

Instrument-specific coaches support students across all classes — dedicated instruction from local professionals for students who've never had private lessons.

Tour Scholarships

Every couple of years the Orchestra tours out of state. In March 2023, students performed in the Disney Performing Arts Program — scholarships covered students who couldn't afford the $1,400 cost.

Sponsor or donate an instrument

Help us expand our inventory so every student has access to a high quality instrument.

Over the last five years, enrollment across Bellevue High Orchestras has increased by over 95%. Sponsoring an instrument, in full or in part, is a great way to help — or donate a used instrument your family owns, in good working condition or serviced before donating.

Your donations in action

Over the past four years the Orchestra's enrollment has continued to grow. Each year the challenge to meet the demands of a developing program becomes more apparent — often there aren't enough instruments for students to take home, and rental plans can be too costly for families.

In 2021, Mr. Kam notified us of a shortage of basses and the Booster Club stepped in. In mid-November, the club voted to purchase a new bass outright at a cost of $3,000, and will continue to help fill the gaps where district funding falls short. The needs of the program are larger than one bass — more instruments and supplies are needed.

Please consider making a contribution today. Your support is greatly appreciated by the students, Mr. Kam, and the Orchestra Boosters.
