Make A Gift
Your gift to the Baltimore School for the Arts will truly make a difference for our students – Thank you! A donation to the school’s Annual Fund helps to support BSA’s combined academic and arts education and enables us to provide critical programs including:
- performances, recitals and exhibitions by students – the heart of the arts curriculum
- academic initiatives including preparatory summer bridge work, intensive tutoring and extensive test preparation
- collaborative efforts with Baltimore’s premiere cultural institutions
- residencies and master classes with luminaries in the arts
- individual summer study scholarships for juniors to study at nationally renowned programs and last-dollar college scholarships
- ALL of the specialized instructional materials and necessary supplies including academic text books, art books and scripts, CDs and videos, computers, pointe shoes, paint brushes, musical instruments and scores
AND!
- TWIGS -- BSA's free after school and Saturday arts instruction program for more than 700 children in the 2nd-8th grades. Funded almost entirely through the BSA Foundation, this program offers opportunities for arts instruction to Baltimore's children, many who might not otherwise have access to the arts.

Matching Gifts
You may be able to double or even triple your gift with a Matching Gift from your employer or your spouse’s employer. Please inquire at your Human Resources Department.
Gifts of Stock
Securities are often the best way to make a gift to the School. There is a two-fold benefit to making a gift of this nature: a charitable deduction for the current fair market value and no personal capital gains taxes on the appreciation. For more information about gifts of securities, please contact our Development Office 410-347-3043.
