2026 Instrument Drive
Saturday, April 18, 2026
#BeInstrumental by donating gently used musical instruments and equipment for Milwaukee’s young musicians! Following the April 18 drive, donations will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis at the McIntosh|Goodrich mansion. Donated instruments will be cleaned, repaired, provided with new cases, and given to at-need students and schools throughout Southeast Wisconsin.
Instruments Needed
Brass
Guitars
Full Drum Sets
Strings
Wind Instruments
Accessories
Although we love pianos, organs, kazoos, recorders, hand drums, cajons, frame drums, congas, and bongos, we cannot accept these instruments at this time. We truly appreciate your generosity and understanding.
How to
Support
1. Visit an Instrument Drive donation center near you (listed below) on Monday, April 13 with a donation from the list of needed instruments.
2. Anyone who would like to make a difference in the lives of Milwaukee’s young musicians are encouraged to make a donation to the Instrument Repair Fund. Donated instruments require an average of $200 in repairs before they can be awarded to a student.
3. Feel great & celebrate! Because of your generosity, a young musician will now be one step closer to realizing their musical dreams.
