Contemporary Youth Orchestra’s programs are made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally and economically.

Contemporary Youth Orchestra is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
