• "The Music Center scholarship provided a unique opportunity for my son to start learning music. Without that awesome opportunity, he couldn't see the light of music in his life. When I was a child, I liked to play guitar, but I never had a chance to learn, but I am very glad this scholarship helped my son through life with music."

  • "There is a wonderful, diversified community here where everyone is welcome and feels like they have something to offer, regardless of experience and abilities, making it a vibrant and joyful place to be!"

  • "I always look forward to my lessons every week and MCNW provides a space where I can learn music as well as unwind from the stress of everyday life."

Ways to Give

  • If you would like to pay via credit card to make a gift or pledge, please use the giving form. Please do not share your secure credit card information via email.

  • DAFs are a giving vehicle established at a public charity. These funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. To direct a gift to Music Center of the Northwest through a Donor Advised Fund, you may be asked for the 501c3 tax ID (91-1450066).

  • Make one monthly gift today and know that your charitable giving is in place for the entire year to come, no need to stress in December when your tax-deductible giving plan is already in place. Make your recurring gift using the giving form and set up your donation plan. If your situation changes for any reason, you can always change or cancel your gift with a simple phone call to 206.526.8443.

  • If you are interested in making your gift with securities or stock, please see these Stock Transfer Instructions. If you would like to make a gift of Mutual Funds, please contact the Development Office to discuss additional supplemental information required to successfully complete the fund transfer.

    Please remember to inform the Office of your stock gift. Brokers may not share that information directly with the school and we want to ensure we credit you for the donation.

  • Many companies offer corporate matches as a way to make your donation go even further. To explore if your company offers a matching program, please reach out to your employer’s HR representative. Please note that it can take up to 45-60 days for your gift to reach us through workplace giving programs. To discuss matching gifts at Music Center or to confirm your gift, please contact the office or call 206.526.8443.

  • Making a gift to Music Center in memory or honor of a loved one allows you both to celebrate their life and to enrich music education for future generations. When making a credit card donation through the giving form, indicate the type of dedication and to whom your gift is dedicated. If you’d like to make a dedicated gift via check, please include an accompanying note referencing the dedication for your gift.
