The Wallingford Swarthmore Music Association is a group of parents and music educators who support the WSSD music department. We seek to improve the inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility of the music programming in the district through communication, outreach, fundraising, and programmatic support.
Our main initiatives are the Heart Strings Program and the Concert Closet. We also maintain a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help those new to music programming or to WSSD to better access the department's many offerings. In addition, WSMA supports the George Slick Fellowship & Grant, the Jack Hontz Foundation, and the Zach Rufo Endowment.
Your donation will help support the work of the Wallingford Swarthmore Music Association, ensuring that our music department staff and students are supported and encouraged in all their musical and artistic endeavors. If you would like to donate specifically to a foundation or grant, please select from the drop-down menu or include that information in the note with your donation. Thank you for your support!
