Make a Difference

The Ankeny string music initiative is a nonprofit with 501 (c) (3) status (pending). Your donation today will help us continue providing the Ankeny Youth Orchestra at a low cost. String orchestra programs and the cost of learning string instruments are notoriously expensive. We strive to make the Youth Orchestra affordable for all. Thanks for all you do to support string instrument players and the youth of Ankeny!
