The people who make below-cost possible.

COS charges families less than it costs to teach them. Foundations, businesses, community organizations, and artists close that gap every year. Their names belong on this page.

PARTNER DETAIL AND LOGOS NEEDED
Each partner above is currently a name and nothing else. Per partner, COS needs written permission to display a logo, the logo file, a one-line description of what their support funds, and the years of the relationship. Partners renew more readily when they can see their gift described accurately in public.

What a business or foundation gets back.

COS performs at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and the United Nations, tours internationally, and has been named Best Music School on Long Island by the Long Island Herald. All of its tracked graduates went on to college. That is what a partner’s name goes next to.
SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM NEEDED
Before this page can invite corporate support it needs a defined offer: sponsorship levels and amounts, what each level includes (program credit, concert tickets, logo placement, naming), the deadline for inclusion in season programs, and who at COS handles corporate relationships. Note also that the source material dates the Long Island Herald award both as 2021 to 2024 and as 2022 and 2023, so COS must confirm which is correct before it goes live.
