contribute to keeping our music-making accessible and affordable

The Oakland Civic Orchestra is excited to announce the Oakland Civic Orchestra Association (OCOA), our newly formed nonprofit public benefit corporation, is now able to accept tax deductible donations for the benefit of the orchestra. OCOA will support operational needs such as sheet music and instrument rentals and licensing fees and allow the orchestra to expand special projects such as commissioning original compositions. We would greatly appreciate your help to make sure the orchestra not only survives the current pandemic but grows in its service to a community that needs music more than ever. We’re a 501c3 nonprofit and your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

There are many easy ways to donate to OCOA:

​1. By using the credit card form on the right.
