Thank you for your interest in donating your instrument to Seattle JazzED!

We typically accept new and used musical instruments/ equipment in good working order, including accessories like cases, reeds, etc. Donated instruments are inspected, refurbished, and placed in the hands of students who need them the most. Instruments that do not meet the quality standard needed to be refurbished or are not in high need will be sold on our eBay charity page, where 100% of all funds collected will be used to maintain, repair, and buy new instruments.

DONATION PROCEDURE

Instrument donations can currently be made by appointment only. To donate an instrument, please complete the instrument donation form below and a member of the Seattle JazzED programs team will contact you to schedule a time for drop off.

DON’T FORGET YOUR RECEIPT!

Your donation is tax-deductible. We will prepare an in-kind donation tax receipt based on your estimated value of the items.
