Fund the music to fuel their future.

Every gift — of any size — puts instruments in hands, uniforms on stages, and opportunities in reach for Indianola's student musicians.

Why It Matters

Somewhere in Indianola tonight, a kid is practicing.

Maybe on a borrowed trumpet. Maybe for an audition their family couldn't otherwise afford. Your gift is the difference between almost and onstage.

The Indianola Music Boosters back all 2,650+ student musicians in the district — every band, orchestra, and choir, kindergarten through graduation — and we're 100% volunteer-run, so every dollar reaches a student. When an instrument breaks, when a uniform wears out, when a competition fee stands between a student and an opportunity, this is the fund that says yes.

Find your way to give.

Participate in Fundraisers

Buy a yard sign, grab a chicken dinner, snag a mattress, shop the craft fair, pick up a Band Card, or volunteer a shift at Casey's Center — there's a fundraiser for every taste throughout the year.

Cover a Student's Participation Costs

Iowa schools can't charge participation fees — this is where families contribute toward the suggested cost of costumes, music, and materials for programs like show choir.

Donate an Instrument

A flute, violin, or trumpet sitting unused? We refurbish donated instruments and loan them to students who can't afford their own.

Matching Gifts

Many employers match charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar — a $100 gift can become $200 at no extra cost to you. Check with your HR department to see if yours participates.
