Times are tough. Donate to keep kids' music lessons affordable.

We thank YOU for your philanthropic support of the American Suzuki Foundation and for all that your commitment makes possible. This year, 2025-26, your generosity provided $7400 in merit and need-based scholarships to Aber Suzuki Center (ASC) families, The big smile on these deserving students’ faces reflects their gratitude. Your contributions also provided $17,000 in ASC tuition assistance and $10,000 in support for ASC students and teachers from anywhere in the world to attend the American Suzuki Institute this summer.

But next year’s story may be different. The University of Wisconsin System is mandating a faculty salary increase that is well-deserved by ASC teachers, but with this mandate, the only course forward is to raise tuition as it is the sole source of income for the ASC. For ASC families, (many of whom have multiple children enrolled), the proposed tuition increase combined with the recent rate of inflation may make Suzuki lessons out-of-reach.

We need your help in keeping Suzuki education accessible to all. You know what “doors” a Suzuki education opened for you. Please help keep this life-changing experience possible for all children in Central Wisconsin by making a gift to the American Suzuki Foundation today. The ASF’s mission is to “support the current and future operations of the Aber Suzuki Center, fund innovative ideas of the Center, and work to make the Center accessible to all.”
