Donate your Instrument
Turn your instrument into an instrument of change!
Each spring, we host a two-week drive and ask the public to donate gently used band and orchestra instruments or guitars. We refurbish these instruments to excellent playing condition and donate them to school music programs throughout the state for the following school year.
Typically, the instruments in highest demand include baritone horns, baritone saxophones, cellos, double basses, tenor saxophones, tubas, and violas. With the help of individual like you, we are able to meet those needs! If you have a drum set, upright bass, or portable keyboard you'd like to donate, please get in touch with us at info@bringingmusictolife.org so that we can make additional arrangements. Sorry, but we are not able to accept pianos or organs due to their size and the cost of transporting them.
We are grateful for the thousands of instrument donations we have received over the years. In 2025, more than 1,000 instruments were dropped off during the drive at locations in Broomfield, Boulder, Centennial, Colorado Springs, Denver, Ft. Collins, Golden, Grand Junction, Greeley, Lakewood, Loveland, Parker, Pueblo and Wheat Ridge.
Rocky Mountain Music Repair, a BMTL instrument repair partner, accepts donated instruments at their store throughout the year.
