DONALD AND ROSE MARIE WONG ENDOWMENT FUND

Wong Music Grants: Coming in August 2026

Part of the 2026-2027 Spark Grants Program

Keeping music alive in Solano County classrooms

The Donald and Rose Marie Wong Endowment Fund was created to ensure that every child in Solano County has the chance to experience the joy of making music. Through mini-grants for music teachers, the Fund provides resources for instruments, sheet music, and uniforms—helping students learn, perform, and thrive.

Rose Marie and Donald Wong, lifelong music lovers, believed that strong music programs enrich schools and communities. Their legacy lives on through this fund, which supports Solano County music teachers in perpetuity.

A Legacy of Music and Community

In 2011, Donald and Rose Marie Wong of Vacaville established this permanent endowment fund with the Solano Community Foundation to support music teachers and their students for generations to come.

“We are most interested in helping music teachers and their students. We want them to have the equipment and materials to do their best.” – Rose Marie Wong

Rose Marie passed away in 2016, but her vision lives on through the Fund.

Looking Ahead: A Community Music Lending Library

With your support, the Fund can grow to sponsor a lending library of instruments, sheet music, and band uniforms—so no student is left out because of cost.

Please join us with a donation towards keeping music alive throughout the County!
