Little Opera's Summer Challenge Grant

**Update**

We've done it! Thank you to every single one of the 65 supporters who ensured that we unlocked this entire challenge!

There are still a few days left. Any extra dollars raised still go towards making Little Opera what it is.

Thanks to the generosity of The Sam Mazza Foundation and Little Opera's board of directors, we're excited to announce a brand new summer challenge grant.

If we reach 65 donations by July 31st, we can unlock $11,000 to further our mission of building a vibrant creative community — through the creation and performance of original opera — that transcends divides and transforms the lives of children, families and artists.

How this challenge works:

• When we reach 25 supporters, we'll unlock the first $4,000.
• When we reach 50 supporters, we'll unlock an additional $4,000.
• When we reach 65 supporters, we'll unlock the final $3,000.

Whether you can contribute $5 or $5,000, every single donation counts. 100% of your gift supports our student scholarship fund and makes it possible for us to continue offering free and discounted tuition to half of our students.

Here's what parents are saying about the impact they see Little Opera having on their children's lives:

• "He went from very shy, to brave and outgoing."
• "With Little Opera, she is always smiling."
• "She actually wants to go to school on Little Opera days."
• "It's like a professional college, except the students are only 10 years old."

As part of our thanks for helping us do this work, here’s the result of a summer challenge we gave four of our alumni: arrange, record, shoot, edit, and mix a music video in three days.
