Gifting Musical Instruments

Thank you for your interest in making an instrument donation to Children’s Music Fund. We are currently not able to accept donations of gently-used instruments given global health concerns that we are all enduring. We appreciate your understanding.

As an alternative, please sponsor the purchase of a new instrument for child to help make a dream come true.

Act of Kindness – Sponsor an Instrument

A request to fulfill a sick child’s wish for a musical instrument is an opportunity to provide joy and truly help at that very specific moment of need.

How can you help? Be a sponsor, a gifting angel, of an instrument for one of our CMF Kids. Your name will be provided in the gift card that accompanies the delivery of the instrument. Purchase a gift for a child today, pay all at once or a little every month, whatever is the best option for you.

When Are Gifts Made

We make gifts to sick children all year long to help in many situations. Here are the most common:

  • Fulfill requests by hospitals and physicians for a child in need
  • Make a sick child’s dream come true. Yes, they ask us directly, usually following a Music Therapy session
  • Build instrument kits to assist isolated, high-risk children when they receive telehealth Music Therapy sessions, especially during COVID-19 advisories

Top Requested Instruments

We love gifting instruments. We try our best to match every detail of the special request, like when we once received a request from a teenager for a blue guitar. Then, a blue guitar it is.

Why are the details important? Here is the story of the blue guitar: Blue is her favorite color. It is a request that is in the child’s control and has meaning. Following the amputation of this teenager’s leg due to cancer, she now calls her blue guitar from Children’s Music Fund her blue leg that she leans on everyday for support. That blue guitar is more than an instrument, it has helped her through some difficult times on her road to recovery. This is one of countless, real-life reasons that a musical instrument makes a difference in the life of a child beyond playing music. These are the top three requested instruments:

  1. Guitar
  2. Keyboard
  3. Drums/percussion

Through your kindness we can achieve our mission of healing children through music therapy. Thank you for your support!
