Giving Levels & Suggestions

Donations

Some of the most talented and hard-working young musicians in Central New Jersey practice diligently for their YOCJ concerts, then perform some of the greatest music ever written at nearly professional standards. For over four decades, YOCJ has helped students pursue musical excellence well into adulthood. As you prepare to make your charitable donations, please think of YOCJ, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

  • All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
  • Does your place of employment offer matching gift programs?
  • Can you donate via the United Way corporate giving program?
  • Perhaps you would like to designate your donation to a specific cause, such as the purchase of a particular instrument that YOCJ needs, like a piccolo, or a bass trombone.
Always know that your contribution in any amount will be gratefully accepted and put to good use. Your support will help us continue our mission of providing our musicians with exceptional opportunities, such as…
  • Overseas summer tours to locations such as Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Leipzig and more!
  • The purchase of certain expensive instruments that we need or have been renting
  • The annual high caliber soloists that comes to us from organizations such as The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, The New York Philharmonic and more.
