"Schools are improving test scores and fostering their students’ competitiveness in the workforce by investing in arts education strategies, even in the toughest neighborhoods."

- President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities

Of the 1650 students that we serve in the arts, 95% of students receive full training free of charge. It costs Ifetayo $3,000 to provide one student with 42 weeks of arts training. This year alone:

  • We served 1500 students in our Arts and Education Program
  • 150 of our students performed on a main-stage theater (2300 + seating)
  • IYE (our professional preparation award-winning Ifetayo Youth Ensemble) members performed at venues hosted by Spence-Chapin Adoption Services, the New York Women’s Foundation, the New York Aquarium, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, and the International African Arts Festival to name a few.

    As we continue to grow our community of friends, we ask that you join us in covering the cost of giving youth the gift of art! Your support will directly impact the lives of children and young adults in our arts programs. Here are some examples of how your gift can help us:
      $50 is equivalent to providing visual arts materials for one student for 42 wks
      $100 is equivalent to purchasing one musical instrument
      $200 is equivalent to purchasing 5 uniforms
      $540 is equivalent to one tuition scholarship for 42 wks
      $1080 is equivalent to a family (with two children) tuition scholarship for 42 wk
