2025 Day of Giving

Support a rich and diverse musical culture at SCU!

Challenge Alert: If 25 gifts are made to the Music Department, JAMBAR will donate $25K to the Jazz Program!

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the music department has been able to provide support for student and faculty scholarship and creative work. We've also been able to make improvements to our facilities to support the incredible growth in our jazz and commercial music program, replace aging instruments in our piano lab, fund guest artists and external performances for our ensembles, and a host of other things that build a rich and diverse musical culture at Santa Clara University.

We are excited about the increased participation in our classes and ensembles, and about the many new students declaring a major or minor in music. This continued growth reflects the broad array of classes and musical experiences we are able to offer students across the university. 

Your support this Day of Giving will continue to help the Music Department provide a home for the artistic lives of our vibrant student body!
