Thank you!

Will you join us in helping to make the future of music ever better?

On Day of Giving, every contribution is a testament to the power of collective action. When you choose to give to the Eastman School of Music, your gift can support:

  • Scholarships
  • Concerts, master classes, and visiting artists
  • Faculty needs and resources
  • Student musical needs, including video/audio recordings for auditions or summer festivals; instrument purchase or repair; music/score purchase; and expenses for conferences, auditions, competitions, or summer programs

Today, your contribution goes further!

  • Match spotlight: Gifts made to any Eastman School of Music fund will be generously matched 1:1—up to $50,000—thanks to first-generation college graduates, Rick ’71E, ’76E (MM) and Susan Lawn.
  • Challenge spotlight: The Eastman National Council is proud to champion the Eastman School of Music’s fundraising success by inspiring collective giving. When 125 donors make a gift to any Eastman fund, an additional $10,000 will be unlocked—made possible through the generosity and leadership of National Council members.

Through For Ever Better: The Campaign for the University of Rochester, our community of donors is helping to shape the next generation of musicians and leaders.

  • Create boundless opportunities for our students through a gift to the Eastman Unrestricted Scholarship Fund, supporting our goal to fully meet financial needs across all degree programs.
  • Your support of the Eastman Annual Fund provides flexible funding that can benefit brilliant minds in so many ways—student and faculty support, additional scholarships, and areas of greatest need.
  • Help us build next-generation spaces by giving to the ESM Facility Support Fund.
  • Expand music’s reach by supporting the Eastman Community Music School or Eastman Performing Arts Medicine to build thriving communities here in Rochester and beyond.

Join our entire community in making a meaningful impact today by giving to the Eastman School of Music.

Together, we can shape the future of music and make a lasting difference.

If a specific fund you are looking for is not listed in the drop-down menu, you may search for it in the designation field on the donation form. We greatly appreciate gifts of any size to any Eastman fund.
