Contributions
At South Shore Conservatory, tuitions cover 80% of the cost of operating our school and bringing quality education in the arts to our students. The balance comes from contributions from many generous individuals, businesses and foundations, who want to help the Conservatory enrich lives through the arts in the communities of the South Shore. Your contributions help fund programs, financial assistance for our students, outreach programming in our communities and outstanding performing arts events throughout the year.
We invite you to support the Conservatory. Please see below for opportunities to encourage arts education on the South Shore. Thank you for your interest and generosity!
Boat Donation Program
Donate your boat and make beautiful music!
Time to sell your boat? Set a new course that enriches lives through the arts! If you’re thinking about selling, why not consider donating your boat to South Shore Conservatory? Your donation will fund financial assistance, programming and outreach that serve the needs of all students, regardless of age, ability or financial means. The Conservatory has entered into an arrangement with Massachusetts Maritime Academy, which has extensive experience handling the details of boat donations. The Conservatory receives 40% of the proceeds and you receive a valuable tax deduction and the satisfaction of supporting the arts in our communities.
The benefits of your tax-deductible gift are many:
- You will receive a tax deduction based on the fair market value as established by a qualified appraiser.
- You will avoid the time, effort and expense (maintenance, storage, insurance and brokers’ fees) of selling your boat.
- Your donation will benefit the programs and students of South Shore Conservatory.
