What this donation covers
This donation helps to offset program costs which can include music printing, purchase, and licensing; uniforms and performance attire; props and performance equipment; transportation and travel; competition fees; instruction and consultation; events and awards; as well as administrative costs.
Please consider increasing your donation if possible (and seek corporate matching funds to amplify your donation) to help support others facing financial hardship. Every donation is appreciated, no matter how large or small, and no student will be denied participation based on donation activity. We're all in this together!
PLEASE NOTE: AFM is committed to ensuring that every student is able to participate, regardless of financial circumstance. If you are unable to give, please don't feel obligated to do so. Volunteering and fundraisers (e.g., RaiseRight (Scrip), BandCake) are excellent ways to support the organization. You can also earn money for AFM by shopping on Amazon.
