The CYCC Fund is part of the Connecticut Youth Composers Collective's mission to give back to the musical youth of tomorrow. With the help of your generous donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales, the CYCC is able to provide select K-12 music classrooms with funds for things like:
Instruments and instrument repairs
Classroom Supplies
Access to sheet music / libraries
Method Books
Field Trips
Equipment and resources
Donations of any amount are welcome and encouraged. All proceeds raised will continue to contribute to the CYCC Fund for future concerts, scholarships, and more. Please consider donating today!
The CYCC Fund is also raising money for the CYCC Higher Education Scholarship. This scholarship amount of $500 will be given to one CT high school senior pursuing a higher education degree in music or music education after graduation. The CYCC is dedicated to uplifting the voices of young musicians across Connecticut, as well as supporting their education beyond the K-12 classroom.
