About the Foundation

The CoSA Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization whose stakeholders are passionate about supporting CoSA and arts education for school-aged children throughout the Coronado Unified School District and the community of Coronado.

Mission of the Foundation

The Foundation improves community awareness and raises and secures funds to perpetuate, improve and expand these arts experiences of CoSA, Coronado Unified School District and the community of Coronado as a whole. To fulfill this mission, the Foundation works to put in place an endowment large enough to meet the ongoing objectives of CoSA, and other student arts programs, by assuming the role as ambassadors of those programs to the arts community.

Goals of the Foundation

Include making the Coronado School of the Arts financially self-sufficient through an endowment and other annual fundraising activities; expanding its outreach to all qualified students in the San Diego region, including those who are disadvantaged or otherwise at-risk.

Funding Coronado School of the Arts

Funding for Coronado School of the Arts comes from many sources.

The school district pays part of the cost of CoSA and the Coronado School of the Arts Foundation fundraises to cover the remaining costs of approximately $215,000 annually.

The CoSA Foundation has raised over $3.5 million since its inception in 1997.
