Support the arts at Wootton and help fund our teacher arts grants
Membership dues are the foundation of our grant program. Every family who joins helps make these opportunities possible for students across Wootton’s arts programs.
Through membership and community fundraising, Patrons of the Arts provides grants, resources, and volunteer support that help Wootton students learn, create, perform, and share their work.
Each year, Patrons typically provides $6,000–$8,000 in grants to support Instrumental Music, Chorus, Theater, and Visual Arts programs.
Since our founding, the support of families like yours has allowed us to proudly impact the arts education of hundreds of students through the following:
Supported over 20 theater productions with funding and volunteers
Awarded tens of thousands of dollars in grants for instruments, stage equipment, and art supplies
Funded new marching band instruments and maintained existing equipment
Purchased microphones, moving lights, sewing machines, and cameras

Through these efforts, we continue to strengthen and enrich the arts experience for every Wootton student.
