Pathways for donated pianos

Piano Placement

Your donated piano may be gifted to an at-need student or organization. Every year we seek to distribute as many instruments as possible through this program. So spread the word!

 

Pianos on Parade

Your donated piano may become part of our annual Pianos on Parade. Instruments are painted by students and local artists and placed on the street corners of Minneapolis and St. Paul for the summer months. These provide public music and gathering places for the community to enjoy.

Piano Sales

Your donated piano may be sold at our retail space in New Brighton to support our organization and its work. If you or someone you know is ever in need of a quality used piano, be sure to send them our way!

Piano Recycling

Your donated piano might not be viable for reuse. This can be due to a variety of issues related to aging instruments. In these cases, the piano will be disassembled and recycled.

Your tax-deductible donations are used in our charitable programs, events, and retail operation. Whichever path your piano takes you can be sure your contribution supports children and the arts.
