California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV) is a donation-dependent public charter school. No student is offered or denied admission based upon their family's financial capacity. Through a public-private partnership, the State of California provides funding for the academic instructional program offered at CSArts-SGV. However, the school must raise approximately $2.8 million to fund the arts conservatory programs each year. CSArts-SGV relies solely on generous contributions from families, alumni, foundations, members of the community, and corporate sponsors to help reach this goal.

All families are required to complete the Conservatory Funding Agreement (CFA) form once per school year as a part of the annual enrollment process. 

The collective CFA pledges from all of our families determine the annual budget for each conservatory. Any pledge or contribution you make will be allocated directly to your child’s individual conservatory budget. Your contribution specifically pays for salaries for your child’s conservatory director and teachers, facilities, equipment and supplies, performance opportunities, guest artist master teachers, and field trips. All cash contributions to the school are fully tax deductible.

We recognize that each family has a unique financial situation; however, our goal is 100% participation at the highest level possible from each family. You also have the option to sell or purchase program advertising space in the school’s digital yearlong performance program and/or digital Gala program.

We also encourage all families to check for matching gift eligibility through their employer. Detailed information on how to do so can be found at the bottom of this page.

CSArts-SGV is organized as a nonprofit organization under IRS code 501(c)(3). Our tax ID number is 81-3919990. All cash contributions are fully tax deductible as provided by law. Please click here to download a copy of the IRS letter.
