Support Rocky Ridge
Investing in the Future
As part of our work to make music education more accessible, we provide nearly $100,000 each year in financial assistance to students in the form of merit and need-based scholarships, and a variety of work-study programs.
Help us achieve our dream of building an environment of inclusion and equity for all by donating, using the box below.
Preserving Our Historic Campus
Our mountain campus at the foot of Longs Peak began construction in 1909, and many of our original buildings have been lovingly preserved. Continuing to maintain this historic legacy and the spirit of the founding vision, while also upgrading and modernizing, is a top priority. Our remote location and harsh weather adds to the expense of this work, making support for capital projects critical.
The future of Rocky Ridge depends on the generosity of our community: it depends on you! Become one of our committed supporters and leave a lasting mark on our campus. Donations for capital improvements can be acknowledged in a range of ways, from donor recognition plaques to named structures. Help us preserve and improve our campus by donating below.
Enriching Our Programming
Rocky Ridge currently offers a variety of music programs for different age groups and music genres including Jazz, Classical, Piano, and Mariachi. In 2022, Rocky Ridge launched the nation’s first fully residential Mariachi Music Program, partnering with Colorado Youth Mariachi and Latino Cultural Arts Center.
Our goal is to continue growing our offerings and introduce new and diverse music programs in the future, and our vision is to expand our events to include programming throughout the year. With your generous support, we can achieve this dream and broaden our musical horizons.
