Donate your instruments to Ethos or help us with our wishlist & get a tax deduction.

One of the most immediate ways you can make an impact at Ethos is by donating musical instruments and equipment! Check out our current needs list, for instrument donation below, or donate items found on our Wish List.

Donating an instrument? Email us first!

If you have an instrument to donate and it is on our Actively Seeking list above, please email instruments@ethos.org to confirm we have space for your donation and schedule a drop-off time.
