Frequently Asked Questions

In some cases, a member of our staff may be able to pick up small item donations. For large item donations, we will need to coordinate a transfer directly to the school it will be going to, as our office is not able to accommodate large item donations.

Initial response to your In-Kind Form submission should be received via email within 2-3 business days. (Subject to increase based on organization & school district schedules). The time from our initial email response to the pickup or drop off of your donation is determined by item size and quantity, pickup location, schedule of the recipient school, and other factors. Estimated time is 1-2 weeks.

We are happy to accept electric keyboards, and in some cases may accept upright pianos. At this time, we are unable to accept donations of grand or baby grand pianos.

Please note that the coordination of an upright piano donation can take up to a month. Schools are required to obtain permission from their district before accepting large item donations, and we will need to coordinate with the donor, moving company, and school to schedule pickup and drop-off.
