ZUMIX Collective
Leadership gifts help position ZUMIX for long-term sustainability, allowing us to invest in the future of hundreds of ZUMIX youth and their families— helping them become artists, leaders, and citizens who will positively impact the world. Learn more about joining the ZUMIX Collective!
Donor Advised Funds
Support ZUMIX through a donor advised fund (DAF), which gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to specific nonprofits.
A DAF allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
Host a Party
You bring the friends and we’ll bring the music! Host a fundraising party in your home, a restaurant, or even at ZUMIX to introduce your friends and family to our work and the incredible youth we serve. Whether it’s a Wii tournament, a potluck dinner, or a Latin dance night, we’ll help you select a theme and entertainment that is sure to be a hit!
