Your Support is Invaluable to Our Community!
As Spotlight continues to grow to meet the needs of our community, we need your help to continue building a strong foundation for what comes next. We currently offer two ways for you to support Spotlight Performance Academy financially. One-time donors can contribute to the Amanda M. Thomas Scholarship Fund, which supports students from underserved communities in pursuing their artistic dreams.
We invite those who are able to give monthly to join our Spotlight Circle of monthly donors, providing crucial, dependable support for the essential operating costs and future planning that tuition alone cannot cover.
Spotlight Performance Academy is a 501c3 organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
Spotlight Performance Academy is proud that we have never turned away any student due to financial constraints. With your generous support, we will continue to provide tuition assistance to any student in need.
Amanda M. Thomas Scholarship Fund
We are proud to announce the Amanda M. Thomas Scholarship Fund, created in loving memory of Amanda, whose vibrant spirit and passion for the arts touched so many lives.
As the director of our own Voices of Power choir as well as many other choirs around the world, Amanda left us far too soon, but her legacy lives on in the countless ways she championed access to arts education for all—believing deeply that creativity should never be a privilege, but a right.
This scholarship fund will support students from underserved communities in pursuing their artistic dreams, just as Amanda would have wanted. Whether it’s through singing, dance, or theater, we’re helping the next generation of artists rise—one opportunity at a time.
If you knew Amanda, you knew her light, her laugh, and her unwavering belief in the transformative power of music. Let’s honor her by ensuring that passion and talent never go unnoticed due to lack of resources.
