Fund a Chair for $1: How Small Gifts Reopen a Studio

By Development Team · July 18, 2026

We built the Fund a Chair campaign around a simple idea: a single dollar can hold a seat for a student who might otherwise never walk through our doors.

Where your gift goes

Your donation reduces the cost of instruction, instrument rentals and maintenance, costumes, performance fees, books, and supplies. Because our classes are kept small, every gift directly increases the individual attention each student receives.

Larger gifts sponsor a child for a full term; smaller gifts stack together to reopen entire rooms. Both matter. Both are welcome.

The majority of our students received full or partial scholarships. No child was ever turned away for inability to pay.

Ready to fill a seat? Visit our donate page and give whatever feels right — a dollar or a thousand of them.

Help us reopen the doors.

Every gift fills a seat for the next generation of CAPAS students. Fund a chair for as little as $1.
