Invest in the Arts: Nurture Creativity at DeKalb School of the Arts

Your donation fuels creativity and opportunity, empowering DSA students to pursue their passions across a wide range of artistic disciplines. Whether you’re inspired by Dance, Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, or another department, your contribution makes a real impact. Each department has its own unique needs and wish list, and you can choose to support any item, big or small. Think of it as our giving tree: every dollar brings these wishes closer to reality. If you don’t have a specific department in mind, you can also make a general donation to support the school’s greatest needs across all arts programs. 


*The DSA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, making all contributions tax-deductible.


To donate, please use the PayPal link below or contact us at info@foundationdsa.org for other ways to give. Thank you for investing in the arts and the bright futures of our students!
