UC Day of Giving

Help our students create what comes next in the performing and media arts 

Nationally ranked and internationally renowned, the College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) provides a world-class education to students within a highly creative and multidisciplinary artistic environment. 

Beyond the performances you see on CCM’s stages, we are a community of artists, technicians, educators, and researchers on the forefront of the performing arts. Donations to CCM help us attract and retain the next generation of global artists, right here in Cincinnati.

Supporting CCM is two-fold and we simply could not do it without your support. 

When you buy a ticket you affirm the talent of our students, faculty, and staff.
When you make a donation, you recognize their passion and join the team that makes it all happen.

The two funds listed below have been identified by the college as our priorities for this Day of Giving. However, we also encourage you to support the CCM Annual Fund or any other CCM fund that is meaningful to you.  

Double your impact with a UC Day of Giving Match 

All gifts to CCMpower will be matched up to $5,000 by CCMpower President-elect Ken Kanter. CCMpower is a group of friends and alumni working behind the scenes, setting the stage for our students to be and to create what comes next in the performing and media arts. Donations to CCMpower provide essential support to fund student scholarships, projects and travel opportunities that are vital to their growth as creators and collaborators but are often not covered under traditional instruction. CCMpower also provides funding to faculty for guest artist and master class experiences that open our students’ minds to the world of possibilities – and even open doors to the start of their careers.

Additional Funds that need your support:

• CCM Dean’s Innovation Fund provides nimble funding at the Dean’s discretion. Donations to the Dean’s Innovation Fund are used to meet the immediate, day-to-day needs of the college as they arise. New music stands? Mid-season technological needs? This fund supports Bassoon and Ballet to Violin and Voice – and everything in between.
• CCM Scholarship Fund helps students from around the world have an easier time making their home here in Cincinnati and allows them to focus more deeply on their art form while immersing themselves in the life-changing experience that only CCM can provide. Your donation to the CCM Scholarship Fund not only supplements superb performance opportunities, but, more importantly, gives CCM students the tools they need to lead and succeed both on stage and off.

UC and UC Health employees can give via payroll deduction today.
