Save Bay Area Girls Rock Camp!
Bay Area Girls Rock Camp is experiencing urgent financial instability, and we need your support to sustain our programming for 2025. Rising operational costs—driven by OUSD cuts and a national reduction in education grant funding—have put immense pressure on our small and powerful team.
Despite an increasing demand for our programs, these financial challenges limit our ability to meet the needs of our community. We're actively making changes to strengthen our capacity, and now, more than ever, we need our community’s support.
Now is the time to give to Bay Area Girls Rock Camp! Please donate money to this music education program that serves girls, trans, and gender-expansive youth while acting as an essential glue for community building to Queer and Trans artists in the Bay Area.
Every donation has a meaningful impact on the longevity of Rock Camp services. More than half, or 55%, of our campers receive scholarships to participate in programming each year. These scholarships generally benefit youth from the most historically underserved communities throughout the Bay Area. Our scholarships are essential so BAGRC remains accessible for campers of all backgrounds and experiences.
Your donation to Bay Area Girls Rock Camp will directly support:
We cannot stress the urgency in receiving your support. While we recognize this goal is only a part of what we need to recover from our funding losses and the quickly changing environment for education programs like ours, it is an impactful step in moving towards our full operational capacity.
Our amazing team is dedicated to keeping Bay Area Girls Rock Camp alive! With the help of our community, staff, and volunteers, we know that this goal is possible. Being a part of BAGRC means being able to dream big for a different world.
We are so grateful to all the amazing people who have made and continue to make our work possible. As a peer mentor put it, “BAGRC has helped me grow as a person, and I've learned a lot about myself and others here. They've helped me discover my passion and understand the world more. I hope they continue teaching others how they taught me.” We ask for your support so that Bay Area Girls Rock Camp can continue to change lives and support young people and adults alike.
Thank you for your dedication to this beautiful community!
